Mame arcade freezing randomly
<< < (4/4)
hypernova:
Usually, when heat is mentioned, it's implied the CPU isn't getting enough cooling, which is why I'm quick to dismiss it.  Also, it is open air, as I've said, and I've had the front door of the cab open the entire time.  So airflow isn't a problem either.  But I'll keep it under consideration.  However, none of the temp monitors indicate anything even close to a problem.

I could start swapping things back and forth between the PCs, but I'm trying to avoid that for now, as it's a bit of trouble to do that, so I'm exercising all options available.

If it is the latest build of Mame - well that is your problem there.

Revert to a safer build.  :cheers:

It was everything freezing on you right? Not just mame.

If so I would say next step would be to replace hard drive and re-format windows. That way if it still does it you can eliminate software issue causing it. If it was the hard drive with bad sectors that would usually cause Blue Screen of Death but you might as well use a hard drive that you know is good just in case.
