Hi,yesterday i finnaly found working RAM,it gaves me a 64MB more(its 128 third party laptop RAM with full needed specs)

I was messing around with some samples about hour and my mpc just resetted and boot again.
samples was gone, metronome was off and master effects was all resetted to 0. After manually turn off and on again,everything was back to normal.

I have this one MPC for a week(its secondhand buy), and it didnt do this since i installed the RAM.

Can be this because of RAM? (but MPC with boot with new RAM normally,everything looks ok)
Or i have to update OS?(I have Akai 1.2)
Or its just bad RAM?


thanx for anny suggestions:/

You need a 256mb chip.

If this happens after you hit a pad, then something is wrong with the internal power supply....

Because you need a 256mb chip. Third party is fine (as long as the rest of the specs match) it just needs to be 256.
