i noticed a few other posts similar to mine but after reading them i dont think the problem is the same. here goes: i recently acquired a golden tee 2005 machine and it worked flawlessly for a month or so. thats when it started! in the last month the machine will boot up without issues and you can begin playing. somewhere within the next 5 to 10 minutes ( sometimes longer) it will freeze up. it does not seem to matter weather you are playing or not the screen and the audio will both stop. the light on the board beside the ide stops flashing and it will not reset. i have to shut the machine off and restart or push the reset on the main board to begin again. i purchased another drive from ebay and after some loading issues being corrected i encountered the same issue. not being familiar with service or repair on these units i am wondering if there could be a heat factor causing this. garage is currently about 100 degrees lately and i have noticed there is not a cooling fan anywhere on the board or in the machine. should there be? any help would be great . cheers jay
 
To trouble shoot a thermal issue I'll simply pull the door off and put a fan blowing on the board set. With it being that hot out though I'm not sure even that'll help :)
