Tom, that totally sucks!
My Magma PS went bad, too, but it was completely dead - wouldn't start at
all. No sounds, no fans, no nothin'.
If you do replace it, just make sure you get a PS that can handle having
no 12 volt load. You may have to get an older one.
Good luck!

Mike,
What power supply did you replace yours with?
I'm not sure how to find out which will and will not
handle 'no load' on the 12v side.
I'm looking for something heafty in the 600watt+ range.

Hi Tom,
I had an older one I bought from pcpowerandcooling.com. If you email them,
they will be able to help you with that. They used to sell "referbs" of
old models from their site. I'm not sure if they still do.
Good luck!

David,
The supply I pulled from the Magma did not look stock. it
looked like a cheap 400 watt mongral.
I just bought an Antec 550. It is modular in that you only attach
the cables that are needed. It seems to me that that supply will
be able to run with or without anything attached to it.
Does my thinking stand to reason?
Powerlessly,
Tom

Another thing,
My Magma has not only the 20 pin mobo power connector
but 3 x hard drive type connectors that go to the Mobo.
Not sure if this means anything.

Most Excellent Fix It Guys,
New problem. Just installed a new Antec 550 watt supply.
Powers up nicely in the Magma. It will run with 5 EDS cards
then shut off just before XP boots and screws the whole shootin' =
match.
I'll double check seating of the cards but what else would have made =
even
the new supply to croak? Fans are cooling well too.
I'm thinking I have a broken EDS then ? Maybe 3 . . . ? The Magma?
Damn. Are there Magma drivers? If so I'd need older ones. The Magma
tech was almost laughing at how old mine is. It has a slot on the far =
left
for the Magma card. The newer one's slot #s go 1-13 rt to left as you =
face the front.
I think mine's the opposite judging by my master card placement.
Everything is broken it seems.

I can't believe this one but . . .=20
I've had 5 cards in a 13 slot Magma for years. Now it won't
start up and keep running. This began tonight as
I tried adding Mec #2 to a 1 Mec setup. The Magma
would power on for a split second then stop. I'm thinking
power supply. It might still work with all 5 cards and 1 Mec
if I baby it.
Once it's off I have to unplug, wait, replug and start again.
Maybe it will start up with one Mec then. I thought there was=20
a auto shut off mechanism built in to the Magma. I didn't see =
anything
about that in the manual.
? ? ?
Why Me???
I choose Polesoft Lockspam to fight spam, and you?

Another thing,
My Magma has not only the 20 pin mobo power connector
but 3 x hard drive type connectors that go to the Mobo.
Not sure if this means anything.

Most Excellent Fix It Guys,
New problem. Just installed a new Antec 550 watt supply.
Powers up nicely in the Magma. It will run with 5 EDS cards
then shut off just before XP boots and screws the whole shootin' =
match.
I'll double check seating of the cards but what else would have made =
even
the new supply to croak? Fans are cooling well too.
I'm thinking I have a broken EDS then ? Maybe 3 . . . ? The Magma?
Damn. Are there Magma drivers? If so I'd need older ones. The =
Magma
tech was almost laughing at how old mine is. It has a slot on the =
far left
for the Magma card. The newer one's slot #s go 1-13 rt to left as =
you face the front.
I think mine's the opposite judging by my master card placement.
Everything is broken it seems.

I hear ya Aaron. I am going to trouble shoot the eds cards again
then I'll send the Magma to Magma. If that doesn't answer some=20
questions then Chris will get the call. I hate to bother him with this

It'd be cheaper and more fun to ship Chris here than ship this
pile to him.

Another thing,
My Magma has not only the 20 pin mobo power connector
but 3 x hard drive type connectors that go to the Mobo.
Not sure if this means anything.

Most Excellent Fix It Guys,
New problem. Just installed a new Antec 550 watt supply.

I'm thinking I have a broken EDS then ? Maybe 3 . . . ? The =

Damn. Are there Magma drivers? If so I'd need older ones. The =

tech was almost laughing at how old mine is. It has a slot on =

for the Magma card. The newer one's slot #s go 1-13 rt to left =

I think mine's the opposite judging by my master card placement.
Everything is broken it seems.

I've had 5 cards in a 13 slot Magma for years. Now it won't

I tried adding Mec #2 to a 1 Mec setup. The Magma

if I baby it.
Once it's off I have to unplug, wait, replug and start again.

Hi Tom,
I have the same old Magma, and it doesn't require any drivers.
I'd try booting Windows XP with no EDS cards in, then one, then two, etc.,
until you can find the problem. If it is the bridge chips in the Magma,
I believe Windows would fail even if no cards were in it. You may want to
test it with another PCI card in it just in case I'm wrong about that. It
sounds to me like a bad card that is throwing the PARIS driver for a shit
when it tries to innitialize any 442s that are attached (that happens on
start up).
Good luck!
Mike

Hi Mike,
I think Windows will boot fine, at least it used to with
all 5 cards in it. Now it chokes as soon as I attach a
scsi cable to any of my three new working mecs.
It didn't a couple of days ago.
I'm digging deeper into the way the cards are seated now.
I will check the Magma with one card and one interface at a=20
time. Maybe the scherzo drivers are screwy from removing=20
and reinserting the cards? =20
This is amazing how one little thing can ruin a good business.
Well maybe it's 10 little things but. . .=20

Got everything out of magma, reseated it's card.
Booted computer fine with nothing in magma.
Tried one eds, computer still booted fine.
Tried booting with Mec attached but off no probs.
Tried with mec on booted fine but am back to no
clock or modules showing in Mec with Paris started.
I forgot to disattach the second Mecs clock from the first
and it was off. It may be why but I doubt it.
I'm off to a crazy weekend but at this point am thinking
the Magma is toast. ? ? ?
I'll be back to hear your replies in 6 hours or so.

The Magma power supply just stops after about 45 seconds
so windows freaks and won't finish starting up.

Hi Tom,
Hmmm...does it fail when windows starts if the MECs are connected or =
when
PARIS starts?
