Having a problem with my Tekken 5 machine where I can get into the menus, get into character select, but when the match starts, the whole thing shuts down. Monitor seems fine...I'm seriously new to this sort of thing but from what I can glean, it's either the power supply or motherboard? Does this sound right?

Anyone else experienced this issue? Just trying to find out before I go out and start buying things haha.
 
it's probably dirty disc or DVD-ROM lens. the game at work (knocking on wood so as to not jinx) used to go to a black screen very often until I took the drive apart and swabbed the lens with alcohol. pretty wild you got it to where it craps out in the same place though.
 
Thanks for the response! I'll 100% try that next. If it's nothing more than a dirty lens/disc I'll be over the moon haha. The whole machine shutting down over that would be crazy, but I have heard the 256 can be really touchy.
 
System 246/256 is just a PS2. it would be like ejecting the disc in the middle of the game, it just stops. lol
