Check for bulging capacitors. It was a MAJOR problem with older motherboards... http://goo.gl/oatFy GroovyMAME support forum on BYOAC The Big Man MAME Fan Reged: 12/08/06 Posts: 30 Send PM Re: Jamma mame pc conversion [Re: krick] #305194 - 03/02/13 08:53 PM Reply Not really sure how old it is but it wont be far off 10 years, had heard about the capacitors issue previously, all seem to be fine. The issue with the motherboard dosen't concern me nearly as much as the fact that the software(mamewah's shutdown command) seems to be directly affecting what the hardware does, could the software be improperly shutting down the system? I've posted my original post in the Mamewah forum incase anyone there has any ideas.
