WS Blade BB3 - can no longer install a new game
« on: March 17, 2026, 07:44:16 am »
I can no longer install a new game. It keeps restarting during the image copying process. I’ve tested different CF cards as well as another CPU, but the behavior is the same.

I’ve replaced the batteries and also performed a clear before each new attempt. What I can rule out are the DF boards and the CPU, since I tested with different ones. All the voltage LEDs are lit.

What I did notice is that on the CPU, two LEDs in the top left light up red and then turn off when it reboots—but that might also be normal.

Does anyone have an idea what this could be? Maybe the backplane or a connected device?

Could it be an issue with the SSD HDD?

After replacing my SSD, I was finally able to install the game, and it worked perfectly for about three months. However, the issue has now returned.

The game starts for a few seconds, and then my PC goes into an endless reboot loop again.

I've already replaced the power supply and the CPU, but the problem still persists. At this point, I don't know what else to check.

Could this be caused by a connected peripheral device, or could the motherboard be faulty? Has anyone experienced something similar or have any suggestions on what I should investigate next?

Backplane or power harness could be going out, but then again this is BB3 is so your power harness or backplane may be getting weak

Topic split since this was going in a different direction from the OP's subject.
Carry on!
