A1200 crashes
« on: May 28, 2007, 01:30:25 AM »
My C= A1200DHD, Vesalia 1260/60/66 megs RAM, WB3.9, six gig HD with five partitions, pcmcia/cable modem connection and ff/sd has been crashing, freezing up and refusing to reboot for 15 minutes or more.

Sometimes it crashes if I launch Genesis and then IBrowse2.4, but not if IB launched first.  It has been crashing a lot during Beneath a Steel Sky HD play.

When it crashes or freezes or a warm reboot is attempted the power light begins to strobe - bright-dim-bright-dim... and every 10-15 seconds the hd light flashes on for a half second.  Then I turn it off and wait.

I thought I had the answer last night - a stronger power supply.  I replaced the A500 PSU with a Bigfoot but the problem persists.  It is the only source of power for the A1200 and add-ons.

There is no CD drive, but it is ready to to install a squirrel scsi card after rearranging some devs files.  I would hate to have to reinstall 3.9, but if it helps...

I recently tried to install MagicWorkBench but don't care for them that much.  I hear that 3.9 must be reinstalled to rid me of it.  Why did I have to install MWB to find that in the help files?  Would reinstallation help my crash/freeze problems?  Help.

I cannot currently think of more to say, so shower me,
O Wise Guys of Amiga, with some wisdom, please. As always, thanks in advance.

be seeing you

reply to all.  I removed "Magic Server"  from my WBstartup drawer because I got msgs about a Mu utility, MuForce4K I think, which were new.  I do not remember putting that in WBstartup.  Whatever MagicServer did, undoing it worked wonders.

Thanks everyone.
