Gentlemen;

     In the past my Amiga 500 has been occasionally rebooting.  I have been
living with the problem and in fact it wasn't rebooting as often.  This 
weekend it shut down but did not come back on.  The only sign of life was
the caps lock light was on.  After a while I was able to get the system back
up to where it asks for the workbench disk.  I put the game disk in I was
playing at the time and everything appeared okay.  Ten minutes later the
same thing happened, but this time it was difficult to get the system up. 
When I finally got the hand on the screen asking for workbench the picture
was distorted.  Nothing I did solved the problem so I turn the machine off
until Monday to see if cooling down over night would make a difference, but
it didn't.

     I have been reading mail on problems like this and I thought the rebooting
was caused by a faulty pwer supply.  Now that the machine is not responding
at all I am not sure it is just the power supply.  If anyone has any helpful
advice I would appreciate hearing from you. Contact me at 201-724-3876 or
email cgiufur@ARDEC.ARPA.
