I was having this (Alarm 123) the other week too. I followed Geof's suggestion of placing a fan on top of the machine blowing on the Regen Resistor. I cleaned the fan above the spindle too to be safe, some minor dust accumulation. Had HFO service guy here replacing a controller battery and talked to him about it. He told me to have the line checked (did it was good) as suggested by HalinHaas and run it until it failed. I've used the machine now since Memorial Day without a reoccurance and have ran the same program drilling and tapping 6061 which was when the failure occured since then running twice the parts with no problems.
