So I've got an MVS board (MV1-FZ) that I've brought to a friends' house and hooked up to his cab. After playing for a bit, Unibios (3.1) will catch a random exception, necessitating a reboot. I believe without unibios these would be either a reset or a freeze. My question is... is this kind of behavior ever likely to be caused by borderline/too low voltage? Because I've never seen it do this (but it's gotten less playtime) on a supergun I have. On the cab (resetting) setup, it sometimes it goes for 15 minutes without one happening, sometimes a few happen within a few seconds.
It actually has a second which I think is wholly unrelated but doesn't make diagnosing it any easier -- there's something just a little borderline with the edge connector in some way...and this is despite having cleaned the contacts up. I've mentioned this before in another thread. I don't think there's anything to be done for this (the system seems to be in a constant resetting state on power on after attaching the jamma harness, but enough turn-off-fiddle-try-again and it works. Or if I apply (light) pressure at an angle on the connector, it seems to work fine.
