Greetings! I recently purchased a replacement motherboard for my MVS cabinet which I haven't used in years. How delighted I was when I switched out the board, turned it on, and play a couple of holes on Neo Turf Masters! Well, 5 minutes in, the screen glitched out and the numbers on the coin counter LCD started blinking to a rhythm. By resetting the system, I was able to play a little more, but maybe for only 3 minutes. It seems as the system cools, I could play again. Any ideas what could be going wrong? Is a component overheating? Any assistance greatly appreciated!

sounds like dried capacitors in the power rail?

can you measure the voltages and see if they're jumpy/breaking down?

Check if the voltage regulators and chips are getting very hot. Check the voltages coming from your power supply.
