	Lately one of my ST's has been acting up and I wonder if anyone out
there has had the same problem that I am having with it.
	First, its a 520 upgraded to a meg. 
	The problem is, that after I've been using it for an hour or so the 
beast just seems to keel over.  I will get either 2 or 4 bombs and the system
freezes. 
	When I reboot, just before the desktop should come up, 2 or 4 bombs
flash on the screen, the screen boes black, then it it tries to reboot.
This happens over and over until I shut the machine off. 
	If I leave it alone for a few hours, and then turn it back on, it acts
as if nothing was wrong, for about an hour, then the whole thing starts over 
again. 

	Does anyone have a clue as to what might be causing this??? My BBS is
running on only .5 meg till I get this fixed. 

	Thanks for the help.
