RED Screen Issues

Has anyone had any?  I get random RED screens when games crash.  Usually I cannot reboot as the screen stays red.  I have to power off then back on.

I've had them when a program crashes and a power off is the only option. A couple of RTG games do it but I forget which at the moment.

Yeah I had them before too, but it seems to be worse now, maybe the faster speed is breaking some games...  I know a few no longer work.  (Super Hangon)

I've also been getting the red screen too with various WHDLoad games requiring a cold boot. Anyone else . . . ?

According to that page: EXTERNAL LINK  red screen is kickstart problem. So:
Did you remove your original kickstart before install Vampire?!?

The physical ROM is not accessed when the Vampire is installed, so it shouldn't matter whether it is installed or not. Unless the Vampire is not properly installed?

My kickstart is not fitted and the vampire works perfectly however some programs do cause a complete lock up and a red screen although it's rare
