I picked up the game and almost from the get go, it loads up when I turn it on, then it resets itself and loads up again, plays just fine at that point.
As a matter of fact if I try to play it before it resets it self, it resets, loads up, and then plays fine.

Anyway last night when I turned it on, it wouldn't even load up. Just sat there with a greenish screen. turned her off and on, same thing. Off and on, then it worked.

I went ahead and bought a new hard drive from trentcoin on ebay, I figure for $21 it was worth the risk to see if that's the problem.

If that is not, where should I look to next? I should have it installed by the weekend.
 
Intermittent resets can be caused by the game not being connected to earth ground.

1. Make sure the trackball is connected to earth ground.
2. Make sure the game is connected to earth ground (all metal should be connected to earth ground). Verify that it does have a grounding pin on the plug.
 
interesting, thanks for the extra info.

the trackball is definitely NOT earth grounded.

well I may have a brand new hard drive for sale, lol.
