5.1.5 ... the control unit (QNX PC) fails during operation?
A number of reasons can be at fault if the computer reboots without apparent reason:
• The processor fan is overloaded or defective.
• The fan of the power supply unit is overloaded or defective.
• The auxiliary fan in the housing is overloaded or defective.
• Fluctuations occur in the supply voltage.
• A power failure has occurred.
• The processor or individual boards are defective.
Turn off the system and wait a few minutes to allow the system to cool down. Turn on the
system again and begin normal procedures. Notify a service technician if the error occurs
again.
