A600 with Furia 40mhz problems when closed

Lisko · 04 April 2021, 14:31

Hi after having issues fixed by switching power supplier with a meanwell rpt-60b I have encountered another problem: the a600 works fine and really well until I close. When closed after some minutes strange things happen to workbench (classicwb advsp) in particular graphics corruption then hard locks or reboot with guru screen. The most strange things are that:
1) I can load tek hologon demo from floppy without problems
2) I can load elite whdload and loop its intro for hours without problems until I return to the workbench
3) I can loop AIBB full benchmark for hours until I return to the workbench
4) I can loop AmigaTestKit memory test for hours until I reboot and start workbench
5) If I disable cpu caches either via early startup menu or furiatune it's stable for hours until I re-enable them
If I let the amiga rest and then I move over top cover with keyboard the system is rock solid for hours. What could be? What to check or test to help identify the problem? Thank you

Maybe worth installing a fan if it's passively cooled?

I thought the Furia came with Heatsink/Fan anyways....

@ Lisco

Is the Amiga Re Capped?

Is the PSU failing?

Is Workbench corrupted? - Apps appear fine until you return to Workbench?

I use a fan stuck to the upper case in my A600 furia....(white pcb...not the updated version) rock solid

I have to use a fan in my A600 with my vampire too, otherwise I get random freezing and lockups. I have it mounted on the too case vents, blowing air out of the vents (and in turn, cooler air gets drawn in the bottom).

I designed this to use to hold it in place with some double sided 3M tape.

My Furia never lock up my A600. I think it is clocked 37 MHz and passive cooling. My A600 is recaped. The capasitors used in A600 is even worse than what they used in A1200. If not recaped you are running high risk and it is way overtime. People that ignore recap have a ticking bomb. The liquid from leaking caps. will short your motherboard. Then it will really get expensive.
