This is something I've never seen before. Turned it on just to boot up and re-energise everything for maintenance, and its stuck on a boot loop. It keeps verifying the memory then restarting. "7168 kB OK"

Has the memory gone faulty? Is it something else?

Okay so I've popped the memory and graphics card out and ran it with dip switches set to default (ie only on-board 1MB of memory and on-board graphics). Still have the same issue.

It's been sitting off, but plugged in and thus I'm inclined to think it's a power supply issue. Will recap the PSU when I can, and update post.
