Same here with an AWE 64 value. It happens when I use sfxload do load the midi table to the card at start up. But this only happens at boot time, and not at very boot. The card works perfectly well afterthat. I have this problem for more than a year now, so I believe it goes back to the time I had

Sometimes I have to build PC's from spare, dusty, marooned 386-486 stuff. Due to the fact that I don't know if the hardware still runs well, is it a good idea to run a floppy kernel ten times consecutively, for example, to take an initial (or decent) idea of the health of the hardware?
