The picture kind of fades a little before resetting. It's like the power is not enough

Try another power supply or clean the power connector, my 1st ever Neo Geo back in 1994 came with a huge 5v Power brick and it was always resetting, usually during a Samurai Shodown session.. so annoying,
I used to put a fan on it in the end, eventually bought a decent power supply for it, which wasn't so easy before the internet was here.

Yeh, just to be safe
I was going to say
Maybe don’t try it again with that adaptor just in case it’s failing
And at some point it might
Totally fail and console gets to much voltage?
I don’t know if the neo has a protection circuit inside ?

Yeh its pretty much just a jamma board with a few boards added. As above I would remove the Jamma and clean with IPA , Check the voltage is ok going to the 5v ( pin 3 and 4 of the jamma connector) , If this is low of drops below 5v then the game will reset. It may be say 4.9 and ok until it requires a bit more ' ooomph ' and then reset (If that makes sense) this is normally when the voltage on the ram drops causing the reset circuit to activate.
Visually look at the caps as this will also cause this issue especially on the power board. Most other chips are SMD on the main pcb so a pain in the butt when if its the board its self. I would instinctly replace all the caps anyway but thats just me, You can not always see issues with them.
Hope this helps,
Dave.
