Omni IIe panel locking up every few months lately.

Lately my friend's Omni IIe has been locking up every few months.

You restart it, and it seems fine.

Tonight, it was rainy and windy and the panel locked up.

Has anyone seen this behavior? Could it be a sign that the board is getting ready to fail?

There's a ton of surge protection installed, including on the telephone and internet lines.

Maybe the transformer is getting quirky?

It ran for a little while and locked up again. The keypads say no controller data again.

The transformer is pretty old, is it likely at all for them to go bad?

Also, could it be a bad device drawing too much current? Or would an overcurrent just trip a circuit breaker on the board and register in the event log as an overcurrent issue?

Also, if you leave PC Access running and connected to the panel, might it save / show some events just prior to the crashing that might help with a diagnosis?
