Rebooting of it's own accord
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 1:00 pmHi,
I recently bought a d8b on ebay. When I booted it up for the first time, it worked perfectly as it should for about ten minutes, but then the desk restarted itself. The monitor didn't change, it carried on as if nothing had happened and everything still worked, it didn't freeze, but the desk went dead and came up with the "Mackie Digital 8-Bus. Loading Host. Please wait.." message as it does when you turn it on. This message stayed up for two or three minutes before changing to the classic "error 43" message, I presume because it couldn't connect to the host, given that the host was already running and hadn't rebooted itself like the desk. From this point, the monitor continued to function as normal, but the desk just acts as if it's off with this error message on it's display. All that can be done about it is to shut the whole system down and restart everything so it's together again, but every time I do this, the same thing happens again. It's ranged from literally 10 seconds after turning it on, to about 40 minutes of normal operation before the desk reboots itself and everywhere in between, but it has done it every single time.
I was wondering if anyone here had experienced this problem and if so, how do I go about fixing it, as I need to get it up and functioning reliably asap.
Cheers,
Ollie
