- I had something like this happen to me with my A3001 GVP
- Accellerator board.
-
- Turns out that one of my makeshift cables was shorting out a
- board, and the computer was getting in a tizz.
-
- I had to take all of the boards out to find this problem. When I
- cleaned the motherboard free of all its accumulated dust, it
- performed a lot better [and hasn't inexplicably crashed since].
-
- It certainly is scarey to get the expansion board check.
-
- The easiest way to check the board, is to power down and remove a
- board, then power up again, and see if the problem remains.
- Repeat until you find the culprit, then check it out.
-
- When you find the dodgy board, try plugging it into a different
- expansion slot, and also try pressing down on all of the socketed
- chips on that board - one or more of them may be loose.
