[net.micro.cbm] Flakey Commodore 64

   Has anyone had any trouble with a Commodore similar to this?
   The machine works fine for approximately 1 1/2 hours, after which
   it starts to develop faint diagonal lines on the screen.  Shortly
   after this, the machine crashes and has to be rebooted.  My best
   guess is  that something is heating up.  I'd be interested in
   hearing from anyone who has experienced this problem, and expecially
   interested in hearing from anyone who has solved it.


   Thanks,

I would try the five volt voltage regulator in the power supply unit.
It could be going into thermal cutoff.
