Seems it was a heat issue I have a fair sized fan blowing directly on the
Super CPU main board so far no lockups and I was able to finish my task
so problem solved.
If course I have the top cover removed from the Super CPU
with the cover on and the metal case is small doesn't take very long for
the case to get warmer and overheat the unit.
I remember the Ramcard generates lots more heat, overheats causes a lockup
the screen fills with vertical colored stripes on the monitor screen.
