- After having my 3000 on for about 5 minutes the following chips get extreamly
- hot:
-
- CSG 8372A 318069-O3 4589 23
- A chip with a sticker that says "WRAP" on it
-
- Many other chips in the machine also heat up. When the machine gets hot the
- graphics go haywire. When I move a window for instance dashed lines are
- left behind. The graphics inside the winodow can also get scrambled.
-
- I have had the power supply tested and it is operating normally. I should
- also note that it is the only component of the machine that does _NOT_ heat
- up. The bottom of the casing and the side away from the power supply also
- gets hot.
-
- Please tell me what I can do, or what might be wrong. For now I must
- operate the machine open cased with a strong fan blowing on it...
