RESET PROBLEM
Kerry Messana
Games Technician
Albany, New York
SYMPTOM
Game is going into reset during
play. B+ has been set at 5.1 volts.
SOLUTION
Probably a hard drive problem.
Keep repeating the hard drive
test in the diagnostic mode. This
will indicate any failing sectors on
the hard disk. A bad sector will
cause the game to reset when it
tries to access the info there.
