2000xl screen freezing

i have a 2000xl that i bought like 5 years ago. i stoped using it like 3 years ago and i just started to use it again. now all of a sudden it freezes up shortly after i start it. i have to turn it off and turn it back on. then it keeps doing it. i notice when ever i use midi it freezes quicker. do i need to upgrade my os. i am running os 1.11. if i need to how do i upgrade. please someone HELP!!! its driving me crazy.

please someone help!!!!!!!!!!!

To update the OS:
Download the OS from here http://www.akaipro.com/supportos.php#MPC2000XL
Put the BIN file with operating system on the floppy,zip disk or compact flash card (don't know what you're using) and LOAD it into the system.

Don't forget to check the features of the OS you're puttin in your mpc.
If you don't know them,use search function on this forum.

now every time i turn it on it freezes right away. how do i load the new os in now. i dont know what to do. and another thing is how do i load the new os. do i just put it on a floppy and then go to load? i am so confused.

alright I feel sorry for you----------------save the OS on a disk or whatever---JUST THE BIN FILE. Put the disk in the 2000 and turn it on---it'll automatically load/update. If that doesn't work---all I can suggest is that you take out your ram then upload the new OS. Id bet your ram is causing the problem. After you update the OS--reinstall you ram and see if it works. If not---buy some new ram

i installed the new os and it still is freezing. now i guess it may be my ram. the only thing is i bought my mpc with the 32meg upgrade already. i am not sure how to uninstall it. please help cause i dont know what else to do.

Open the MPC, take the RAM chip gently out of its holding.
Then try to start the MPC with the standard 2 MB only.
