GSP 2101 ver 1.03.02\ufffd (pre Artist series)

Anyone run into this-
I am messing around playing or programming and after about an hour I get stuck on whatever patch I'm in at that moment. I can keep playing, but I can't change to another program. I turn it off, then back on and I get the boot screen where it just sits. I can't make a noise at all.

So I let it sit for an hour or so then it works again.

I am thinking that there is an overheating issue. Here is what I know:

I opened it up a few days back to check the EPROM numbers so I could order my Artist (ver 3) upgrade. While I was in there I checked the visible soldering joints, made sure socketed chips were tight, pulled and tested the tubes (which are normal).

I didn't see a fuse in there, and I don't see one on the schematics. I got the MIDIWizard program installed and configured and was able to pass the 2 loop tests while the unit was in it's locked up state, so I *think* it is a problem in the bus/ram/CPU area that's not visible. (I did order the 20Mghz processor upgrade as well, maybe that fixes it...)

So.. Anyone here run into similar issues and know the fix?


Thanks
