How much ram is installed on the card?
The BPPC needs at least 4MB to even run.

However
I have a similar problem with my BPPC.
It is a 603e+ 040 200(210)/25
I have 64 MB of ram installed

When i power on the computer it goes black, and i need to power off and back on again for 3 - MANY times but normally 5 times. Then the A1200 boots up and works quite nicely. except though, i cannot get the BVision functioning. I am going to change the cpu to a 060 and hopefully it will make some difference. at least i will get a faster cpu...

To your problem:
No one (i have spoken to) have any clue to why that happends or how to fix it.

But, have you done the timing fix?
It may provide some stability when the computer finally boots up...

EDIT:
Oh, and put PSU power to the floppy power connector. If you have not done so...

@pyrre
Have performed the timing fixes to your motherboard? What revision board do you have?
Also if you upgrade your o4o to an o6o any time soon, can you let me know if it does resolve your issues?


Yes, i have done the timing fixes. and i have a 1D4 motherboard. The timing fix helped on some stability. My 040 hung up after an hour or two in WB... Now it can stay on for days without hanging up...

Be aware some A1200 motherboards were incompatible with some accelerators.
