OS-System-Crash ?

Yo, I got a probably 15 Year old 2kxl, I am used to make music in a kind of a all-day session,like 5pm until 4am or something, and since a few months its kind of sure that there will be a OS-crash in 7hours of using. Sometimes u cant use pads and knobs & the screen is "freezed" sometimes u can use the F-Knobs. First I thought its happening cause I got 20of32mbRam with samples but it is also crashing with prolly 3of32mbRam.

I reinstalled the OS, but It seems to be a hardware problem. Its really **** up cause u have to save everytime if u want to be sure that u dont loose 1 or several Songs and u never know if the crash is coming in 2 or 6 hours after starting...

somebody got any Idea how to fix that shit. U guys think its possible to improve it or if the best option is to buy a new one? - Exept for that the mpc is running good, all Pads and shit are in a good quality even afer 15years...

peace

XL's are only 8 yrs old Max.

oh, allright, you sure? I thought they released it 96/97?

MPC 2000XL replaced the MPC 2000 in 2000.

which OS version are you using?

1.2

You should try to go back to OS 1.14

DOn't use OS 1.20 if you are using Zips

if it was releashed in thoes years it still wouldnt be 15yrs old

Try removing any extras you have added on. I had problems with my SMPTE card and it would funk up the polyphony on the MPC. Notes would cut off, but only when the machine was left on for a decent amount of time. I would try to use your XL with newer RAM also. For $9.99, 32mb is so cheap not to try, and it's always safe to have a backup of them old chips.

yeah, I dont have any extra stuf on it as far as I know, but new RAM is a good idea...
