DC no longer plays new backup games.

[Wayne]

I've had recent progressively more irritating problems with my DC. I have been thinking it's overheating as well. Ever since I tried Sonic Adventure 2 a couple of weeks ago (not the original GD-ROM), it has been freezing periodically. It first ####ted locking up on SA2 where Sonic was surfing down the street, and now other stuff has ####ted locking up even before it completes its loading. Some stuff seems to work fine - CrazyTaxi 1 & 2, Stunt GP, & Toy Racers for instance. Other stuff just refuses to work - Zusar Vasar worked but locked up with nasty graphic problems, SA2, and a whole lot of others just freeze before they finish loading or the hang shortly after the game ####ts.

I'm suspecting that my graphics chip or processor may be overheating. Of course I could buy a new mainboard for $59.00, or just try an auxilliary fan. It'd be one helluva screwed up mess if I had to play certain games with the DC sitting in front of a window mounted air-conditioner!
