You say it locks up when you aren't touching it.
Sounds like there is a connector somewhere that is heating up.
I had one of the first machines. In a very clever move, my keyboard
used silver pins and the connector it plugged into was gold. When
the machine heated up the two parts expanded at different rates and rubbed,
causing a glitch that crashed my machine. Perhaps Atari has done it again.
Does this just happen with one cartridge? Then try cleaning the cartridge pins
and the cartridge sockets in the console. Use a pencil eraser.
If this happens with no cartridges in the machine then it sounds like service
time.
Good Luck,
Ben Cutler
