A500 crash when harddrive connected - post recap.

[paul1981]

PSU issue perhaps? What have you replaced the old PSU with? Have you tried the old PSU again? Apologies for asking obvious questions.

Maybe the 68000 socket is a bit dodgy? Some of these plug-in expansions with thick pins can really knacker the socket.
Also, another thing to check on A500's is that slender piece of shield than runs along the side expansion slot - make sure there's no shorts or anything when the edge connector is in use.

It's pointing out some faulty Fast RAM on your GVP. Can you re-seat all the RAM and test again? I presume you pressed F2 and it completed with this final screen pointing the errors out?

Edit: Well, at least I think it is (having never used the software nor read the docs!)

Ah I see, you have the GVP and VXL hooked up together.

Anyone?
