Could be heat-related. As a precautionary measure, you might like to 
swich it to diag mode and attach a terminal to serial port A (9600, 7, e, 
1). Then you'll see all the diagnostic test info when the machine is 
powered up, and if anything is logged to the console, it will appear on 
the terminal where you can see it.

Regards,

Craig.
