What user name do you use on AW ? I could not find you over there.

I was able to stop most of the freezes on my system by disabling compositing features in AmigaOS 4.1.

I use the following theme, which disables the compositing features and some other stuff.
Prefs/Presets/Default/1024x768 no hwaccel

There are similar themes for higher screen resolutions.

If you have only 256 MB of RAM, this may also be a problem. If you have lots of programs running and open a new window or try to move a window, it creates a low memory condition. The system tries to move stuff out of memory and over to the SWAP partition and causes a freeze for several minutes while this is happening. If you wait long enough the system should eventually come back to life. I don't know how to disable this feature. I usually re-boot if it takes too long.

On Amiga World I use the name "newlight".And the thread if you are looking for it,is called "Stability issues on my Amiga One".Take a look if you are interested into help me.

Well,the hardware compositing disabling I know it,because some months ago when I had constant freezes on my Amiga One I disabled and all goes better and more stable.
Now I have disabled it because I know that if running it,it could be dangerous for my AmigaOne.
I use a theme with no hardware accelerating on a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 with the boing ball with its red and white colours on the background.Is that right? I hope that yes.

And if it is a memory problem,I can reboot,but could it be that the SWAP memory could it be acting?.If so I will try to wait 5 minutes and see what happens.
On my experiences with the SWAP partition with MAME,I see the red light of my HD on when I wait to load some large MAME rom.
Must the light of the HD be on red when using the SWAP memory?

Ah! And pick in mind that my machine doesn't get out of memory when it freezes,because the Workbench says it has for example 160,000,000 bytes free.

Amiga 500 1MB Chip RAM with ACA 500+ACA1232,CD32,Amiga 1300 030/50 Mhz,32MB (now on my hands at least)and Amiga One G3 XE PPC 800 Mhz,ATI Radeon 9250 128 MB,256 MB RAM,Seagate 200 GB HD,2 working DVD drives,X-Arcade double for MAME,Sil0680,4 USB ports,LG

Yes there is one that pointed me weeks ago one user of Amiga World via e-mail that is called CUAZ.

But I prefer to ask here and then if I need it on CUAZ.

OK so first to try is the heatsink/cooling fan and then if it fails a new memory module?

Where can I get a new and "stable" memory module for my Amiga One?

Can any recommend me first better a cooling fan?

From the times I tested it even with the AmigaOS4.1 CD sometimes the machine crashes!

@PEB

Thanks really,I have to go for a heatsink/cooling fan.

Does anybody knows where to buy on the net one good for my Amiga One?

Do you never have crashes since then? Wow that must be my dream man!

If I never get crashes again my machine could be as I ever like it to be.

Contrasting your opinion with others posted on AmigaWorld,someones said me that it could be the cooling fan.

One question;what is a heatsink exactly?

and other;describe me your machine setup to compare with mine and see if it can be a heavy charged machine mine.

OK, firstly, Hyperion are not the only OS4 developers that visit these forums, so if there is anything that stands out, it will be noticed by people that can check and possibly repair any problems within the OS code.

That said, the AmigaOne version has been largly tested and deemed generally stable, most faults are hardware related (it's not like the AmigaOne machines are 100% bug free :)

So lets start at the beginning:

Which version of AmigaOS do you have installed?

Are you using any software in particular when the freeze happens?

Have you checked your memory since the freezes started happening? (there is a util on OS4Depot to assist here)

It is possible that your cooling solution is failing, especially if you still have the original cooling fan fitted. Even if it isn't, it might be a good idea to change it anyway, as it's only a matter of time before it does fail.

Simon

OK,I have OS4.1 installed.
About software it freezes very frequently with IBrowse and OWB too,but it can happen with any other software I want to run or try it,like for example the last game I installed called something about tomatoes (I don't remember well),for example playing yesterday night this game I passed three or four levels and repently it freezed.
More software that can freeze could be the Playstation emulator FPSE,Duke Nukem 3D,Quake and probably any other game I want to try and even Mame and any other software.But the machine's behaviour is of instability and the A1 freezes very frequently with the two browsers mentioned before and sometimes I can play with the game The Goonies for some minutes and even exit it but this is very rare.

And I am very on agreement with you that the Amiga One has real hardware problems because I think that in a case like this it must be the hardware not the software that has been tested deeply as you said and may be nearly perfect.
I have a heavily expanded machine too,that's a thing to take note.And I want to add that if I will be posting this post on the Amiga One,probably it would freezed up before I could end it.

To test my memory I used a program called memtester and I believe it gives me the results OK,but I don't remember well.And believe me that even running this program the machine could be frozen.

About my machine's cooling fan,it could be a problem yes.In fact I have the same cooling fan since I buyed the machine on 2003 and it still operates but I only used aproximately for 3 years.

I think I asked all.Is this information useful for you?

If you or someone wants to ask me more do it,I will try to answer all with the knowledge I have.

If your Amiga One is dead,sorry,but my Amiga One isn't dead and still there could be a posibility of make it stable,that's the thing I desire more and I will fight till the end to make it real,at least I have to try it.

This problem I believe is on my A1 since I buyed it but it has maked bigger on the last months.

Probably I could say much more but it's better that you ask me and if I have the answer I will answer you.

@Rigo

My problems are being described on AW site before and can be said that my Amiga One gets freezed very frequently sometimes within 2 minutes it locks up.
I wrote to Hyperion because they are working for the Amiga One and maybe they could give me light to this issuen and I don't want to disturb them I only asked if they can help me in any way.Anyway I sent it the mail to two different adresses and the mail never went to its destination.

As I said before I asked on Amiga World and never get a satisfactory answer bacause they say me I can replace the battery and I replaced but nothing solves this at least apparently and they say me that the PSU and the CPU cooling fan could be too but I am not sure and because somes says one thing and others another I never went to buy a cooling fan or new PSU because I am not sure what could be the best solution for my beloved and weak Amiga One.

So here I am writing on my PC portable because my Amiga One gives me problems of stability to work with enough tranquility.

If someone like to know were is the thread of this problem on AmigaWorld,ask me and I say you if you want to read it.

If someone can help me and make my Amiga One at least more stable I will be grateful with you.

And if it can be the cooling fan or any other part tell me please were to get one new,OK?

Hi all

I sent an e-mail one time to hyperion at webmaster@hyperion-entertainment.biz and the first to its previous adress and the two messages were rejected from the mail server as they said the direction is wrong or something similar.
As I am trying to get rid of the problems of my Amiga One:

Can anybody say me what is the right direction to write to Hyperion?

Remember that I am trying to solve some of my Amiga One problems at least the more relevant.

Good work! Nice to see flash plugin finally for our Amigas.

It's one of the last things I think we were missing and it's very good if the port can finally be made.

People like you keep the flag of the Amiga up high.

HI!

My problem is simple:when I try to post on AmigaWorld.net and try to add smilies it doesn't get the desired result.

What can I do to make the smilies agregable on my posts?

I noticed too that on the AmigaKit site when I click "Enter Regional Store" it doesn't responds too.

What do you think?

(I am using OWB now)

is this ethernet cable a crossed type?

If i got it right .... you have a portable with embedded wireless and your Amiga.

The 2 things are connected via an ethernet cable .... right?

Can you ping the 2 computers in both direction at least?

Yes is a crossed cable connecting the machines.

I don't know about embedded wireless,but wireless it is.

How can I ping the Notebook and the Amiga One?

Ah and forgot to say that when I configured my network on the Amiga side and tried Netmon program it marks the connection as Active but no network at all...

I only have 2 computers linked with an ethernet cable.

I have a modem attached to the portable.

What type of connection is prefered to make on the PC?

On AmigaKit they asked that the wireless PCI card doesn't suits my needs so I can't use it.

I will ask AmigaKit.com for a possible solution for my Amiga One probably this evening.

Anyway if someone can point me to a solution or even some ideas on how to setup a shared network on Windows Vista I will be grateful,because I am more than 3 weeks without connection on my Amiga One.

EDIT:Sorry for the double post but first time a message says me that I can't post,so I posted again and this time I passed succesfully and it apeared twice on the thread accidentally.

I had set up my connection on my Amiga One about three weeks ago and it worked fine with DHCP enabled and without any IP adress entered on the same part on the Internet prefs.

Now I think I have the connection set up with a an IP adress borrowed from the portable everytime I connect and DHCP is disabled because if I enable it then says that the 0.0.0.0 IP adress sent form the server is duplicated even if I entered other different adress on the first paragraph of prefs/Internet.

I am thinking about to ask for the wireless PCI card on AmigaKit.com but I am not sure if this will work with my modem that is a wireless HUAWEI E169 3G USB one.

Any ideas on how to pick up my net connection again?
