hello I'm back. I tried to do everything you told me, unfortunately it does not want to start (not boot). I tried to change the motherboard with the old one, it turned on once and then it turned off ... I pulled away all the cards, I also changed the video card, I unplugged the power cord of the mixer, I tried without no card, only with the motherboard, but does not make me turn on the monitor to be able to possibly set the parameters ... I do not know what to do. Error 43 Host did not boot. Help!!!!

I tried to buy the Itox gcb50-bx motherboard, but it is nowhere to be found! I tried to buy the power supply Sparkle Power Supply model SPI-250G but this is also untraceable or is in America and the costs are excessive. Who knows if Gary has to sell them?

ok, here's a link to the motherboard manual:
http://www.sonido-7.com/d8b/files/CB50- ... Manual.pdf
Remove everything from the motherboard.
Go to page 17, and do the procedure to "clear the CMOS".
Put the graphics card and ram block in, and connect the monitor.
Reconnect the power supply.
See if you can get anything up on the monitor when you start now.
If not, then see if you can find an atx power supply, and try to use that with the motherboard instead.

You might want to find a friend who knows something about computers, to test these things out.

Hi, I did as you said. Very well, I managed to boot.
Now I see if I load the system. Thank you. I will let you know.

After cleaning up the memory, I put two memory slots, I just put the video card and the computer started. I was able to set up the motherboard. Unfortunately I can not start the system for the D8B. gives me the usual error. Error 43 Host did not boot.

first stop accomplished - you can boot.
Put the rest of the cards back in the motherboard.
Also make sure that you have a the serial cable connected between the CPU unit and the desk.
Now check the bios settings:

Then start up, and see what happens.
If it doesn't boot up, tell us what happens on the monitor.

but the serial cable what do I need and where should I put it? From the CPU to the mixer?

I tried to install the operating system version 5.1, already with the first disk tries to install but half stops and on the mixer appears the usual writing Error 43 Host did not boot.
I'm going crazy !!!

Basicly "error 43" means that the desk i getting power, but the cpu somehow isn't uploading the firmware to it.

There needs to be two cables between the CPU unit and the desk.
One is the big "umbilical cord" which supplies power to the desk.
The other one is a serial data cable, which does all the data transfer between the CPU and the desk.
I think it's a "standard pin-to-pin DB25 Male to Female extension cable".
(look at page 4-5 & 25 in the manual:
http://www.sonido-7.com/d8b/files/userg ... Bv5_OM.pdf )

Do you have that cable?

[pino68]

Yes. I connected it as described ... but I can not install because it stops in the middle and gives me the usual error.

[arjepsen]

ok, so you have the connections made.
If I understand correctly, you try to install via floppy disks, right?

You might want to try to make the install disk 1 format the hard drive:
