Hello,
I've had a problem with my Joust arcade game resetting lately. I'll start a game and then all of the sudden the game resets and says "all systems okay" then it starts at the beginning screen. Where do I start looking for the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Troy
 
That sounds like it might be either a power supply issue or an intermittent RAM failure. The best place to start is to bring up the diagnostic pages and let the RAM test run for a while. It is not a 100% guarantee that it will find all RAM errors, but it will catch a lot.

The other thing to do is to check the voltages on the RAM chips. The voltages on the 4 corner pins should be -5V, +12V, +5V and Ground (0V). If any of these are more than 10% low or are fluctuating by more than 0.1V, it is probably time to rebuild your power supply.

Is anything starting when this happens, like washer, dryer, heater, etc? Just sayin'

I would probably look at supply voltages and try to watch when the issue happens.
