If it is working and then loses it,but stays playing normal.
Could be,
The DMD is not processing the information correctly, thus the DMD is going.
The CPU is not sending the information correctly, thus the CPU is acting up.
I would swap DMD's with another game first.
Turn the info cable arround and see if it is a flaky cable. Not the one from the DMD to the display, the one from the CPU to the controll board.
I hate to say this, but reset the ROM on the CPU, could have one leg just not seated right.
After that, the game is Haunted.
