This is the same problem as mentioned in this older thread:
Some people like to leave their cabinets running forever. HyperSpin's attract mode is cool to watch. I've had 7 cabinets running for weeks trying to solve this problem. I have a Scheduled task at 3am to reboot and sometimes the White Screen lockup with the exclamation in a circle still happens. I have all MP4 videos. I deleted every FLV I could find on the hard drive.
I considered HyperRefresh, but I think that may close while someone is playing it, right? My Scheduled Task at 3am does the same thing.
What I did do that seems to have mitigated the problem, is I have a PowerShell script that runs as a Scheduled Task hourly that looks at Log.txt for changes. If there are changes, it is in use or was recently. If it hasn't changed in 4 hours, I will close and reopen HyperSpin. I'm sending an ALT+F4. If you send a Taskkill it does weird things to Explorer.exe, like the Taskbar goes missing. Change the 240 if you want it shorter or longer. The script:
$Logfile = 'C:\HyperSpin\log.txt'
$LogTime = (Get-Item $logfile).LastWriteTime
$CurrentTime = (Get-Date)
$diff = $CurrentTime - $LogTime
$diff.TotalMinutes
If (($diff.TotalMinutes) -gt 240) {
$wshell = New-Object -ComObject wscript.shell;
$wshell.AppActivate('HyperSpin')
Sleep 1
$wshell.SendKeys('%{F4}')
Sleep 10
C:\HyperSpin\HyperSpin.exe
(get-date -Format "MM/dd/yyyy.HH:mm:ss") | Out-File -Append LastHSclose.txt
}
