Lately I'm getting this error message quite a lot: "Unexpected DSP overload"
Never had this before and doesn't cause any real problems but I'd prefer it didn't happen. Does anyone have a clue what could be the cause of this?

thanx!

Just wanted to add that this error message occurs even when I'm not using SFP.

You are getting "unexpected dsp overload" when sfp (and it's taskbar icon) are not running?

is the temperature inside your case ok ?
Heat is a good candidate for strange messages.

SFP is running in the taskbar, but nothing is loaded or running within the program..

I'll have to check the temp but I think it is quite stable.

Quite often the error appears shortly after I've started my computer. So I doubt if the temp inside my case is causing this error..

Strange... :sad:

Hello! :smile:

I had a similar problem. I am running 2 Pulsar cards. Astroman, suggested me to have a look and see if they are properly seated. When I openned the PC I found out that the STDM cable was not seating very well. I cleaned evrything with alcohol, connected evrything well again and now all is smooth like butter! :grin:
So, especially if you run multiple cards, I would suggest that you see if the STDM cable is sitting well...if not, check that the card itself is seating well.

Thank you and good luck :smile:
