Thanks, Christian  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 09-06-2017 08:57 AM                     It looks like your power supply is failing, although it's somewhat strange you have the same message on two independent machines. I'm somewhat amazed you don't seem to experience any consequences already, but there was a bug where stuff like the ICP was booted up, before the Power Good signal was sent and before the PSU's output was stable. This sometimes caused problems with the ICP. Maybe you're running old firmware that now actually keeps you afloat? Looking at the hours on the machine, I guess you don't have any warranty left?  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 09-06-2017 06:16 PM                     What software package are you running. There was an issue a long time ago with false indications.  |  IP: Logged Christian Hove Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Aalborg, Aalborg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2012 posted 09-07-2017 05:11 AM                     We have 4.3.1 (11) on all - Both the failing and not failing.

Unfortunately, they don't have a running change log, you'd have to check the release notes on all versions between what you are running (4.3) and current to see if the issue you have is addressed at all.  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 09-07-2017 09:43 AM                     I had this same issue a while ago. I can't recall what the solution was, and I can't find it in my notes, but I would definitely recommend upgrading to the latest version first. That very well may solve the problem.  |  IP: Logged Christian Hove Film Handler Posts: 41 From: Aalborg, Aalborg, Denmark Registered: Jan 2012 posted 09-08-2017 09:30 AM                     Thank you all, I will try the software update.
