It means a lot of terms, but the final conclusion is, you need a fan. Basically
your GS is getting too warm, which is throwing the timing off. Have you ever
gotten an error $681? This is also a good indicator.

If you *do* have a fan, then you'll need to keep the case propped open.
My GS is *extremely* heat sensitive (the TWGS doesn't help much). On these
warm summer days I have to totally remove the top off the GS so it will
even run. I am also using an internal fan, but even it doesn't help much
on the hot days.
