Hi,
Last night I was raytracing a 3D image as well as rendering a fractal at the same time on my Amiga 2500/030 with a few expansion cards in it (A2091 controller, 8MB ram, video toaster etc) for about 30min to an hour. I left it to run and when I came back into the room I noticed the fan of the psu had failed stopped running and the computer was noticeably quite warm on the top of the case and I could smell a faint burning plastic-like smell from the exhaust of the psu fan. I had turned and off and opened up the case and I could feel the heat aerating from the inside of the case.
I booted up the computer and it boots to workbench 1.3 fine, but is it possible I damaged the computer in any significant way?
Setup:
Workbench 1.3
A2630
A2091 SCSI controller
Video Toaster card
A2058 8MB ram
Another expansion card which I'm not entirely sure its purpose (has bnc connectors and a phone jack on it)
