I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY Random Access Memory (RAM)....

My RAM in my mpc 2000 is either going out, or is not registering, because rarely, will my RAM register when I turn on and boot-up my mpc 2000 I have two 16Mb sticks of RAM in my machine, and sometimes it does work, but sometimes it don't and I-Need-To-Sample!
I CANNOT SAMPLE BECAUSE OF THIS, what should I do, I mean what needs to be done here and what is it DOING!?

Emcee Mastamynd,

Thank you all for your time and assistance in this matter

P.S.-I have already taken it apart and made sure that the RAM was seated firmly and correctly in the mpc 2000 however I may have made a mistake , but I do not think I did as it was just saying I have 18 MB of RAM (when I have 32 MB in it which is 2X16MB sticks) before I worked on/in it but it never did make fuzz and static noises when I go to the sampling option/menu but now it does that and majority of the time it will say that there is no RAM at all (0 MB of Memory Installed

one of the ram sticks on not working.


if you only have a 16 meg stick in there it gets added to the 2 megs that come stock on the mother board.



I suggest getting two new sticks on the cheap. it shouldn't run you more then 10 bucks.

Ayyo!, thanks brotha' debauch!

But can I just take out tha bad memory stick and just sample that way, until I can get a new 16 MB stick because I have absolutely got to use my machine to finish my mix-tape Album...because it does have one good stick at least...would that be kool to do or will that not work?

well try and figure out which is the stick that is screwing up. for sure one of them is cause it says you have 18 megs.


take one out, see if it says 18 megs or 2 megs. if it says 2 megs take that out and put the other one in. check again.


if you have projects that you used more then 18 megs of sample time then you will have that problem when you try and load it up again with less ram because there wont be enough room to load all the sounds.

O! OK! Wurd UP then! thankz bro'....PEACE Im gonna do that then....if I have any more technical difficulties/issues I'll hit ya bakk up on here.

okay, no problem. dont forget to post a download link for the mixtape when you done.
