Sbig internal guide chip odd behaviour

Wondering if the collective can help here.
I have been using the internal guide chip in the STL6303 tonight and am getting intermittent issues.
I can see guide star quite happily when I start guiding but after a few subs the guide image that’s downloaded is pretty much black and in Maxim DL the stretch tool is defaulting to Floating point rather than the default medium.

This isn’t the faded guide star thing.

When I stop guiding, then do a fresh exposure to select a guide star from, no joy.

When I disconnect the CCD and reconnect, I can get an auto guider image but again, after a few guide subs, it goes black.

Emergency dash to install a Baader Vario guider and spare STi which is working a treat with no issues.

Any ideas?
