The system:  ROM 01 GS with Inner Drive 20 MEG hd, system
saver (so it gets plenty of ventilation), FingerPrint GS
board, GS Juice Plus-2 MEGs, V5.0.4, AWGS V1.1, Apple RGB
monitor, 2 Apple 3.5's and 1 Apple 5.25.
The problem:  It crashes/refuses to finish an application
or NDA launch...at random.  For instance:  at first I
would try to bring up ShowPic and it did fine.  Then it
started only bringing up the box outline and the SHOW button
though that still worked.  Now it just brings up the outline.
AWGS text only partially deletes when I backspace.  I cannot
launch Crystal Quest or the Arkanoids or various other games
(but not all) from the desktop.  When I tried the 3-finger salute
after ShowPic crashed I got error 0308 (damaged heartbeat queue).
Same salute from a failed application launch gave me $1B02 (cannot
reset font manager).  Usually the salute from an application
gives me $0602 (cannot reset event manager).  Various graphics
seem to cause it to hang or crash though there is no pattern.
  I haven't seen any smoke and there are no dust bunnies in the
CPU.  Boards are all seated well.  Self-test works okay.
  So what's the problem, folks?
