Well, it was crashing.

I managed to get a hold of this board that seemed to be freezing and lock up for no reason. The pictures show what I found and how I fixed it.

(if you can see it) basically one of the memory sockets went bad. You can see that it's cracked and thusly not all the pins are contacting the memory module that is in it.

My fix was too use an old piece of fuel line tubing from my RC car. (as you can see in the pic.

Now I just need a couple of zeon CPU's!! ( err and some memory )
