I have tested with an external midi and the sound work fine. The problem is only with a daughterboard.

This isn't a problem of the MIDI board, since it is very much a write-only device and thus cannot influence state of what it is connected to. Whatever causes the crashes relates to the SB16 itself or something else that isn't getting along with it. Running ROTT fixing things suggests that perhaps …

Hi, I have a power supply where the fuse broke. I replaced with the same fuse but it doesn’t start anymore. Which component would you say would have failed with the fuse? Thank you

replacing this kind of chip is more expensive than sourcing another board On ebay it's 250€ for a new motherboard VS 10€ for a new chipset. If you have a BP6 in stock I’m interested ;-) $80 2 months ago https://allegro.pl/oferta/plyta-abit-bp6-2x-pga370-retro-laretas-13598394244 its not the chip …

multimeter with good range and going over all chips powered from 3.3V measuring VCC to VDD in resistance mode as close to those chips as possible. With any luck you will get the idea where resistance is lowest. Another option thermal camera and injecting voltage on 3.3V rail slowly going up and …

Is this regulator on the 5v standby coming from psu? is pin 2 dead short to the ground like zero ohm or it's more than zero ohm like 5 ohms or more? Yes it's the 5V stanbdby coming from the PSU.

Set the card to use the low DMA channel. As I recall, some sound card/motherboard configurations don't always work well with the high DMA channel option. No change with lower DMA. I have no sound.

Possible DMA conflict. What other devices (interface cards) do you have in your system? Depending on your system, you might have that DMA channel reserved in your system BIOS. I have only a VGA card and a controller card. The motherboard is a ECS FX-3000 (FE-386) with a 386DX. On this motherboard …
