I recently picked up a KI board off of feebay had to clean the board and reseat the roms due to various issues. So far everything is good besides one issue. When I'm playing either vs computer or 1 on 1 and the time runs out, the screen goes blue or the game locks up.

A simple cycle of power restarts the game and it's fine again. It's only when it times out during a match. Is this something with the disk drive? Or is there something wrong with the board itself (which I'm doubting).
 
you can do the hard drive test in the test menu, but your mostlikely just going to replace the hard drive with either a CF kit from either RevisionX, Flash drive from arcadecup, or whichever one toplessz has currently.

yea i'm banking on the drive, especially if it makes any funky noises.
 
It currently has a CF drive. Sorry made the post early in the morning when I was half awake. I should of included that bit of info. I did do a drive test in the menu, no errors at all.

hmm odd very odd. I had chad at arcadecup fix mine, there's a couple threads about it floating around. he does awesome work if you can't figure it out.

did you clean the edge connector as well as check the voltage at the chips? since it only does it at round time out i rule out overheating of the cpu (unless it was damaged before you got it at some point).
 
Voltage is fine, edge connector is cleaned with an eraser as mecha has instilled that in my head last time we spoke.

The only thing I can think of is to try a diff drive which I'll have to pick up a 44/40 pin adapter so I can set one up on my pc.

If all else fails there is one more thing I can try is swap everything over to the other KI board I have which is currently converted to KI2. Use that to rule out any other possibility.
