I have a Sports Station board that had been getting the following errors messages when I would boot it up:

Watchdog Timer - Fail
Sound FIFO Empty Int Test - Fail
Sound FIFO Half Full Int Test - Fail
Sound FIFO Full Int Test - Fail

The game played fine with no issues. I tried to boot the game up yesterday and it will not boot at all and there is a 7 on the number display.

Does anyone know what the 7 could represent and what any of the other previously received error codes mean?
 
Start with your power supply, make sure you have the correct +5V. Then take the three boards aparts and clean the contacts between them and reseat. Could also be the video card failing and is pulling too much power from the main board(try unhooking the fans that cool the video card and booting one time they can also cause power problems, if so replace the fans, DONT run the game with the fans disconnected it will fry the video card).
