Symptoms:
Asteroids resets after about 20mins play and then vectors start jumping around everywhere. Game is still playing.

Diagnosis:
Vector RAM (2114) at M4 is bad. As soon as the board started resetting I put the pcb into test mode and got 2 tones and then a lower tone. Beep codes pointed me to M4. Replacing the RAM has fixed the issue. Test mode did not pickup the fault until the RAM heated up.
