My M24 recently started to freeze with some garbage on the screen, also when idle-ing in the DOS-prompt.
There are 512KB of memory soldered onto the motherboard and 128KB socketed. The socketed DIP16 ones were already replaced by me.
However, I noticed that the issue persists as long as the M24 is warm/turned on. If i leave it turned off for a while, it boots as normal. If i reset it or cold boot while it is still warm, it results in garbage on the screen, no POST at all or a crippled "DMA CONTROL FAIL:04" error message.
Could this be caused by the soldered memory? I don't want to solder if its not necessary. I've for sure tried to remove all ISA-Cards except for the graphics card, left it running only with the soldered memory, yet the issue persists.
