Default pro tools loses MIDI connection with 002 Rack

Using 11.3.1 but this has been happening since PT10.
It is not uncommon for PT to lose the MIDI connection to my 002 rack. All other inputs/outputs work fine. It normally will run fine for 8 hours or so but when I come back the next day, I have to restart PT for the connection to re-establish.
Running on Windows 7 and quite stable otherwise. Been using PT for 12 years.
Could it be the firewire? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

When you say "come back the next day...", do you mean the system is left on overnite? If yes, I would not do that(and you KNOW that SLEEP and HIBERNATE modes are not recommended, right?). If not, then its probably the old beast(the 002) is signalling its unhappiness with the living world and wants to retire Given the age of it, and the known issues with the power harness and PSU, I would consider a modern replacement. A-its going to sound better, B-its probably not going to quit working on a daily basis, and C-its likely to have more IO in the same(or less) space

Could it be the FW? Maybe, but if you have the latest(and correct) driver, its not likely(but if its a separate card, I would pull it and re-seat it a couple of times). I would also re-seat the power harness connections(5-6 times for each connection) to see if that helps(its free and won't hurt anything).

If this is the only issue you have, you could always simply add a decent USB-MIDI interface to cover MIDI IO needs(I am very happy with my MOTU Fastlane USB 2x2)
