Recently, my LUCAS/Frances combo hasn't been behaving very
well on my A500.  In fact, Frances has become very flakey
recently.    This morning, my brother fired her up to do
some Turbo rendering.  After rendering a few spheres fastor
then mere mortal Amigas, we decided to check the CPU_Speed.

Whoa!  It went -274 and broke the scale.   Hm, either my
Amiga is going turbo boost in the wrong direction or it
has gone slowed to a crawl....  We tried this twice 
after booting my machine.  Well of course when we ran
our applications they were about as fast as any 020 running
at 16Mhz with 32 bit mem.   

Oh BTW, after a few hours, the machine would vomit and explode
and Frances refuses to work... until the next few hours...
Heat?   Well we have every fan in the house blowing..

Any help?>
