I purchased a new AT clone several weeks ago and I'm experiencing 1 slight
problem with it. First its a ProMax w/ELT 286 motherboard. I would like to
hear from anyone who has an ELT motherboard. Also: is Intel the only
chipmaker of the 80286? Or do other companies make them also? If so, who
makes the ELT 80286 microprocessor? (It has a heat sink covering it up)
Problem is that sometimes I hear a loud electric crackle and the screen
appears to get distorted, this only lasts for a fraction of a second and
then everything returns to normal save a keyboard lockup, so I am forced to
reboot. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? It has happened about
3 times so far.
Any help greatly appreciated,
