Dear GVP tech, Once again my G Force 030/40 is misbehaving. The problem has been intermittent, though at the moment my computer will not work at all with the accelerator installed. What happens is that it simply won't boot up…just a blank, dark screen. This happened about ten days ago then was OK for a while. Now the computer will crash for no apparent reason and will not reboot. The computer functions normally with the card out. Please provide an RA# as I cannot make a living without my Amiga/Toaster system up and running. Thank You. Gary Kleiner

Have you tried another accelerator in the same machine? Was anything changed in the system just befoer the problems started (i.e. new drive added, new board, system moved, etc.)? If the system slowly degraded to the point where it will not boot with the accelerator in place, it sounds like a system problem as opposed to an accelerator problem. If at all possible, try the board in another machine, to verify that the board is failing. If it does, please give me the serial number and/or the last RMA number, so that I can attach the previous paperwork to the new RMA.
