So I left my QL turned on running Quill, it had been on for at least an hour before I popped downstairs. When I came back the screen had froze.
If this was a Beeb, I'd say the psu is overheating. And it is getting warm behind MDV1

Re: Odd QL behaviour
It is not that odd unfortunately.
It might be that you need to replace the regulator - but do first of all check that the regulator is securely bolted to the heatsink - I came across one QL where someone had put two of the insulating washers under the regulator instead of the normal metal ones!

Re: Odd QL behaviour
Thanks rich, I believe it is. I've about 5 of these in a bag, was going to replace the regulator in my Speccy. Might replace the one on the QL.
