Thanks - that's the same symptom I'm seeing. The machine has actually
had 18 months heavy use. I read that the bricks overheat and this is
lifted off the carpet and sits on an inverted oven trivet, which aids
air circulation. The PSU actually has air hole at both ends and I
think an internal fan as one end appears to have a slight air flow.
Anyhow the brick is kept as well ventilated as I can get it.
I'm still suspicious of GH2 though, if you google it , there seem to
be lots of people experiencing instability after the game update |
