Right. So now i have updated os and installed protools etc. I have now DAE error 4 on the core card. This is the same issue that caused me to start poking around in the g4 that i killed. Its dae error 4 on cpu 1 on mix card 1 and also same error for cpu 4 on card 1. I don't understand why it should break in the first place. Maybe a build up of dust causing a short or something. Any ideas?

Maybe the core card has something.

Reboot after the hardware test and try if protools open. Some "faulty" card work in protools after "failing

i had some wierd things like that  happen with my digi 001 card.. sometimes booting up the light for the adat would light up and things would be normal...
other times the light wouldnt light up and starting pro tools gave an error.
i still never figured out why, but rebooting a few times seemed to fix the problem (maybe a little prayer ceremony + ritualistic rain dance will help LOL)

Might actually try the raindance thing. Also might sacrifice a frozen chicken too. Couldn't sacrifice a live one. Gonna take the core card out and give it a clean.

Cleaned the core card, now I have dae error 1 on dsp 1 but on the plus side I now only have dae error 4 on dsp 1 so cleared the problem on dsp 4.

Look if the ribbon cable is damaged. I got some strange errors much like yours when one cable on the ribbon cable was damaged.
If the Core card seems to be bad I might be able to sell you a working card. I might have some over later this week.

I stumbled upon a batch of cards and im not sure if I can put them all to use :)

EDIT: Try running digitest with just the Core card inserted. No Farm cards or the ribbon cable. Do you get the same error?
