Hi,



My game afer awhile of being left on it goes to like a blank screen.

The game is on location and it never gets turned off. No image or sound whatsoever. If I turn the game off and let it boot up again it starts running again. Any idea what the problem might be. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Without testing or more information, any advice will be generalized.



The 'number one' enemy of all electronics is heat. Too much heat will cause electronics to act erratic or unreliable. Heat affects both the device and power supply because as heat builds up, the voltage and resistance values change. Make sure there is enough ventilation around and inside the cab. Also, check to see that all fans are running and that all dust is cleaned in:



1)The inside of the cab,

2)The motherboard,

3)The power supply.



Afterwards, make sure that you check all voltages to make sure that they meet the board's specifications while the game is running. This will ensure that the game is running at it's optimum capacity.
