I know this has been discussed before, even on this same page is a thread that talks about this issue, i just have a different approach to the question

Im about to sell a Kronos X 88 that i got "kinda cheap" and ive been repairing and buying parts for it, now it looks better and feels better (purchased some Keys from Syntaur, etc)

Now, the buyer is a friend of mine, so it MUST work and lately it has been giving the dreaded message "A problem has been detected, turn KRONOS off 10 seconds.."

This message is differente from the one that says something about power cycling error, that one usually resolves itself when you upgrade the firmware...

It is already on the latest subsystem firmware and OS, i have reseated the RAMS several times (altough i tend to notice the error more frequently when KRONOS is moved around) and it keeps happening from time to time.

Yesterday i had enough and changed the SSD, cloned the original with Clonezilla. Now KRONOS boots up and has been running all night with no errors

The question is. Of all the times it has shows the message (that yo uare aware of), how many are due to loose RAMS? and how many due to corrupted SSDs? and more important, how many (%) are about faulty PSUs? This last one is my nightmare, because i dont have anywhere to get a Kronos PSU, or a compatible one for that matter.

I hope changing the SSD resolved the issue, i dont want to sell the KRONOS and some days later it starts going faulty again.

With the years here, I've read quite a few different diagnostics and conclusions about what could have fixed those problems. In short, I think it's very difficult to be 100 % sure even when such problems stop after changing something.

Common causes I would personally look for would be loose connections, too full or corrupt SSD, electric noise, voltage measurements on the PSU and important check points according to the repair manual, etc. The Kronos is a quite complex machine to program and master and also to repair.
