I have a Classic that's being a little temperamental. It was recapped a while ago (circa 2018-2019) and has a RAM card installed. It's worked fine for most of its life save for the clock not taking when it starts up (not a battery issue...it just won't tick past whatever you set it at).
Recently, it's had issues where the computer will randomly freeze after about 2 hours powered on. It seems to do this when launching a program or putting something new into memory.
Classics have 1MB soldered to the board so I'm hoping those aren't the chips that are bad. I think I may have an extra RAM card sitting around so I could always try swapping that, but I'm wondering if there's something problematic here with anything else. I'm tempted to get a functional spare board, especially since this Classic is already BlueSCSI'd and a longtime favorite to put in the lab (one of those lighter weight computers with a small footprint that I can toss into the back seat if I need an extra one at an event).
