Well if all this has started since you installed the new rom it would 
point to that being the problem..
Like rEalm said, check all the roms are seated correctly and fully 
home. (I think the other person on here that put the rom in the 
socket the WRONG way round was very lucky if either the command 
station or the ROM survied)
Sounds like all your seq/Patch data has been corrupted now so maybe a 
reset of the unit would be in order. 
I would remove the new rom, power up the PX-7 and see if things 
returned back to normal. If your in a situation that your data is 
still gone, i would do a system reset as its highly possible that you 
will get more errors from this point on.
If things improve, try the rom again.
Ive just put a protean rom in mine which seemed all to easy with no 
problems (that ive noticed..im a very new user as well)
I didnt have to reset or anything.
Also watch the static! ALWAYS ground yourself before handing the ROM 
as this can damage it (and the command station..)
See if that helps..
Good luck
