Blowing Up EDS Cards [message #90747]

I have had a couple different EDS cards go bad over the last couple of
years. I am running 3.0 on WinXP. What happens is the Effects take a powder.
Once is the form of really annoying feedback loops and Most recently just no
EDS effects in the list. This is after system first insatall of everything
from the ground up. Of course the problem occured before that, so that was
my next step to eliminate any software issues.

Is there any reason why XP might cause this? Is it a WinXP issue? or do the
cards just die like that? I remember mention of the daughter boards going.

Any help please!!!!

It's usually one of two things. Heat or oxidation on the daughterboard contacts.
If it's oxidation, like it was on mine, just remove the daughterboard and
get some contact cleaner and a toothbrush and scrub them really good. Regarding
heat, EDS cards get REALLY hot so you have to have serious extra fans going
o keep their life, otherwise they die a short life.
