Sync Problems

Hi guys,

garyb, I'm sure I didn't touch the contacts, I have a lot of care with them. (Maybe my dealer did it. I can't know that.)
Anyway I'll try it, there's nothing to loose if I do it carefully.

dave, all boards are fixed solid as a rock, in fact this was another thing that I considered a year ago, I changed the tower case, because I suspected that it could be the culprit of the issue.

I agree with you, when you suggest it could be a connection lost, in fact to respond to your query about the power of my PSU, I had to remove the tower case sides, to see the reference of this, and for this purpose I put the cables a little apart. Conclusion? For two days there have been no sync problems. I'm happy for the stability of the system, but I´m still worried because I've not fixed it by myself.

Sincerely, I hope there would be no broken circuit in my System!!!

If problems arise again, I'll call or e-mail Paul, as you suggest.

Thanks you both for everything.

Kind regards.

I had that samplerate flickering thing with two cards installed in the same PC. It turned out to be a defective card. Try the cards separately to see if one is defective. If none is then put all the cards on same IRQ 5 or 9. If no solution then it is one of those cards.

Hi abre, thanks for your reply.

Yes, I think it can be possible that one card is broken. But if so, why sometimes the problem disappears?

I think that if something crashes, it crashes forever, dont you?

Anyway I've tried the IRQ Sharing long ago and this didn't fix the problem either.

I've been having this sync problems a long time and with 3 different Creamware cards. The only possible broken hardware could be my Pulsar II, because it's the one that have remained the same during the hardware changes that I've tried.

Well, as I said, it's stable right now. It makes me sick not to know what's exactly happening.

Kind regards.

Did you find a solution to your problem ?
Please check the swapping of boards writting what manual suggests.
I remember something like [board1] [boardid=0] .
Look at your manual, thus maybe you will have your problem fixed

Hi Dimitrios,

Did you find a solution to your problem ?

Maybe, if you call to be kicking the tower case each minute a solution.

Seriously, not yet.

Please check the swapping of boards writting what manual suggests.

Yes I know that, but it didn't fix the problem.

Recently I sent my XTC for a revision to Creamware's Spain technical service and they say it's ok.

As the problem is still present, now my next target is my Puslar 2, so probably this weekend I'll arm myself with a screwdriver and a lot of patience and will replace the Pulsar 2 with the revised XTC, and then, I'll pray.

Kind regards.
