I haven't checked in a while, but www.liksang.com used to carry
them. Alternately http://www.ncsx.com/ may have the parts you need,
and/or even repair you system for you. However, It'd probably end up
being about the same cost if you just bought a new system. What's the
system doing? If it is possible it just needs a cleaning, I can point
you to directions on how to do that thoroughly and safely. If you smoke
around the system, have more than a few pets, leave your system on or
near carpet, or any of the above combined it definitely needs a cleaning
first.

Could be anything from overheating to a dirty laser lense, to a
scratched GD-ROM. If you're playing CDRs mostly you've likely killed
your GD-ROM motor from all the excess access that Dreamcast CDRs cause.
Here's a short guide on how to fix another Dreamcast issue regarding
random resets:

Before you open the case up, get yourself a can of compressed air from
Radio Shack or anywhere else and then use it on the inside of the
system, especially near the fans and fan vents, and get any and all dust
and dirt you see out of there. Using a CD-Lens cleaner would be the
best bet for that aspect.

| My guess is the processor fan. Do you feel air blowing out from the side of
the Dreamcast? If not, the fan has stopped.
Good luck!
