Dond power of 5

Hi I have just bought a DOND power of 5 machine... When playing mid play it seems to cut off completely and restart

I'm I doing something wrong? Never had a machine before.

Thanks

Most resets are power supply related and it seems like its resetting as it is getting warm

Is this common? As I've never experianced it while playing others any advice on what I can do to prevent?

How do I prevent my machine from over heating. The power box inside is very warm. Which I think is causing the problem. As its been fine all day but its now starting to do it again and checked and the box inside is very warm.

Some PSUs have a cooling fan built in which can stop running.
Do you know what type of PSU it has fitted? Or do you have a picture?

I will take a picture first thing and email or post it. As its a pain in the ass.

If it's running too warm then that's probably key. Heat causes dry solder joints and the expansion/contraction of heating/cooling can affect the supply of power.

The long term issue is of course sorting out the exact reason for it running too hot (or not cooling sufficiently).

Not sure how to upload pictures. Can I email to someone?

Also how will I get to the problem without spending a fortune? Lol

You need to click "Go Advanced" under the quick reply box, and then on that screen add the images in "Manage Attachments".
