My ongoing relationship with my temperamental Robotron continues.

For a while it started doing the random reset thing which is common enough, I checked my power and made adjustments to make sure I was getting a solid 5v at the RAM chips. I know that eventually I'll need to get the boards a proper service.

Over the weekend a new behavior started, after about an hour of the game being on, the screen would go blank. I wasn't able to pull the cab to inspect at the time in order to see if I still have HV on the monitor or if it went into HV shutdown. A quick mash on the buttons confirmed the game was still running in some fashion. A quick power cycle and everything comes up, is fine for about 10 mins and then a blank screen again.

At this point I haven't done enough testing to see if it's board or monitor related.

Wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior before, especially knowing that my boards were being a tad glitchy prior to this.
