Last few times playing gorgar for maybe an hour straight ( w no issues) the game would go to game over while playing a game. All the lights stay on..I hit the credit button, and the ball will be kicked out, but it once again goes to game over. I’m thinking that it could be a overheating issue? I’d let it sit for maybe 1/2 hr, and it restarts and plays fine..I’m kinda lost, and don’t even know where to look..the 40 pin connector is clean/recently done, and I reseated the plugs to the main board..Any input/thoughts about this is appreciated..

Power in header been changed?
Reflowing the Pins isn’t a great solution for power headers of this vintage.
