Taito vewlix F with multi type x3 NESiCAxLive restarts

Post by bravojohny »

Hi

Just bought a Taito Vewlix F with multi type x3 NESiCAxLive. Runs ok, but whether I'm playin or just in demo mode, sometimes it restarts. Any reason?

All original. Any help appreciated.

Changed my step-down convertor from 300 W to 500 W.

I think he meant the pc one, bad ram can also cause this.

Do you have any boot up problems from time to time ? From my experience most problems with the TX3 are caused by a faulty psu.

The message I got when it restarts is No Signal on black screen, then reboots normally

It's a PC. It isn't that hard to diagnose.

Try a regular 500W PC PSU and see if it still reboots. If it does, then the original PSU is fine. Try replacing the memory next. It's DDR3.

TX3 is a bit flaky in my experience your better of just using the multi drive on any pc with legacy boot I gave up on mine & did just that with a JVS PAC.
