MPC Crashes

Hmmm...

Two scenarios where my MPC occasionally crashes.

1) In song mode when the end of the song is reached it sometime either locks-up or goes to what looks like a tech-support screen.

2) Not sure what the combination of key pressing from the main screen is but when it happens the MPC goes into that tech-support looking screen.

Is there anyway out of all that hex when it comes up or do I have to switch off. The screen has it's own menu and stuff but there doesn't seem to be a way to exit it.

yup on the v rare occasion mine crashes i get that screen- its after a quick succession of key presses..but dont know which- all i know is that i sometimes fudge the buttons and end up with that- doesn't happen enough for me to be a problem.....my pc crashes far more easily...

The Song mode crash is far more worrying. It seems to happen at the very end, when the song stops.
Has happened twice in a couple of months.

well thats not a lot of times... i just make sure i back up regulary.....

Thats crappy though cuz I press stuff really quick and it does it alot to me! I am getting tired of akai treating the 2kxl's and belows as if they wrote the machines off or something! Then we are forced to form a bunch of under ground web unions to try to fix their f-ups!!! THEY NEED TO MAKE MORE UPDATED UPGRADES, PERIOD!!!! I have just lost alot of good music just cuz I press padz fast! I MEAN WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN?!!!!!!

ANGRY,
TRUNX

maybe there is a more serious problem with yours as mine has crashed v rarely since ive had it and im a fast presser too....the times it has crashed is when i have been confusing it but as i say its rare......

If you have upgraded your RAM, that may possibly be causing the errors (RAM is corrupting data and causing a crash).

Try reseatting your RAM.

Switching/Reversing the slots in which they sit in.

Reloading your OS..

Since I went to 1.14 (XL latest) a while back I've had no problems..

1.72 is latest for 2k
