Twilight Zone Pinball New clock board troubleshooting

I recently purchased two brand new Twilight zone clock boards from Pinball Haus in Australia. I installed the first board and I was having troubles. It was not working as it should. I talked to Bakak of Pinball Haus and he has been very helpful in trying to get to the bottom of this and has been in communications with the manufacturer. The manufacturer suggested that it might be an issue with the machine and not the board itself. I do not have any other issues with the machine. It is working as it should and the clock was the last thing on the list of things to get working. The second clock board was for my friend but I borrowed it back off of him as he had not installed it yet. I just installed the second clock board to determine if it was a clock board issue or a machine issue. With the second clock board installed I have found that the clock will work for a short period of time and then it just spontaneously crashes and the credit dot pops up. ("clock is broken") If I turn off the machine for a little bit and then power the machine back on the credit dot disappears and the clock starts working as it should until of course it crashes shortly thereafter. I have tested the various clock modes and have seen the clock function in these modes as it should but again shortly thereafter the clock just stops working and the credit dot appears during mid game. Any suggestions are welcome!
