mpc 1000 crashing

No change ...after a while it crashes with: Illegal general instruction exeption"

so much for "MPC1000 is small, RUGGED and incredibly portable ."

check your input thru settings make sure its turned off when you load. for what ever reason my mpc 1000 kept crashing when it was loaded with it on. it was producing the white noise you speak of.

try without extra ram/new-other ram
without hd/cfcard, new os reset, - if it keeps crashing it s defective hardware.
i used to have a mpc that did not work well with jj os.(jj os pushes mpc to it s limits)

is it a china or taiwan model?

Its a Taiwan model. i dont get the white noise problem-only the crashing.
and it crashes ,just standing turned on, without any notice...
I run the JJOS1, AKAI 128MB RAM and 16Gb CF Sandisk extreme 3.
Can it be the CF ? it loads up fine and the MPC sees the whole CF .it has been formatted.

how do you tell if its china or taiwan? is one better than the other?

I dont know if its better ,but it says "Made in Taiwan" on the back plate ,under the MIDI connections.

Here is an all new crash! while trimming on a sample, the display goes blank,no sound or control, and the MPC starts flashing "MPC100(128MB INSTALLED)
I hate this machine!

This is rather unusual, seems like a hardware failure. Return it!
