PGA golf computer

<< < (2/2)

rohan:
Not necessarily a PGA Golf specific troubleshooting technique, but here goes:

Any PC based arcade machine that has this issue (and you are absolutely sure it's not the HDD, PS, or RAM) may be freezing due to a failing GPU fan or bad(bulging) caps on the motherboard.  I have seen this happen on several machines, so I would definitely start there.  Your main CPU may not be cooling correctly due to not being seated properly or having enough thermal grease.  Even a bad cap on your video card could be a culprit.  These things can all cause freezing/restarting.  Also, adding extra cooling fans to your case will prolong the life of your machine.

yes correct
i have also added to every pga/gt-golf's a fan on the video-board to prolong the life
also watch the out-put watt's of the power supply
450watt is best
350 is ok for testing,but on a 24-7 machine i would up it
also on a side note here the 1's i find failing the most is gt-complete and also teen-challange
