I even tried measuring differences in voltage with the board running but had no success narrowing it down. I also tried the hot chip search and everything is running cool except for the vector PROMs. I've tested them in a good board so I know that they are not the problem.

replace the data buffer between the bus and cpu, it fixes a lot of games.
