Hi all.i recently purchased an magnum 040 accelerator for my desktop A1200.However my A1200 does not seem to like it.i would often get an software error or random crashes/lock ups.

I wiped the computer clean and did a clean install to see if there was an piece of software that was causing the problem.But it still remained the same.i checked my motherboard on A1200 it is an 1D1 revision type.i am running workbench 3.0 i was not given any installation disks with the card however i assume this would not matter since there was already a 040 lib on wb 3.0 install disk.

So am i suffering from a dodgy ram on the card or dodgy card,a reset bug. or just a motherboard that doesn't like it.or the thing is too cramped in case it has a fan..

my specs are the following

kickstart 3.0
workbench 3.0
16mb ram
3.25 gb hard drive
