Greetings, Thanks for the help I've received on these lists in the past. Today's problem is somewhat of a puzzle.
I have a 7300/200/256 running 8.6 that I have upgraded to a PL FowerForce G3 375/512k. When it works, it works well. The problem is this: it locks up, and then, when rebooting, refuses to get past the startup screen after I have been using it for 2-3 hours. If I shut it down and let it sit for 2-3 more hours, it will run fine again (for another 2-3 hours). So far, I have 1) deinterleaved the RAM 2) removed the 2 16 and 1 32 mb dimms that came with the machine. 3) removed the onboard cache 4) took out my USB PCI card. My guess is that this is a heat issue. The software that came with the upgrade reports a max temperature so far of 11 degree Celsius, which is NOT how cool I keep my home (at least at this time of year). Questions: 1) Would adding another fan make a difference? 2) Would reinstalling the system software make any difference? 3) Any other ideas? Thank you for your help!
