Hi, my Dreamcast is quiting a few of my games unexpectedly. Wont make a noise, just the screen goes black for a few seconds then goes to the main screen and boots the game up again, it used to just freeze but now its doing this. Im worried, is my DC about to kick the bucket?

That issue is almost always due to the power pins, actually. You'll want to scrub them with a paper tower and rubbing alcohol, and carefully bend them in the direction of the contact pressure pads. I've had two systems with that issue, and this fixed it.

i tried that, its not doing it as much but i still get my games to freeze for no reason, (no scratches on disk) but im gonna buy a backup dreamcast anyway, thanks that helped.
