Hi,
I recently bought the new powermac G5 dual-core and it's been crashing at random points when i play back audio, either in Ableton 5.0.3 or Pro Tools 7.0, or even playing audio clips in websites like Beatport. The weird part is that i'm not using any processing power when it happens. I've talked with apple technical support and i ran 'disk permissions' on my hard drives, ran a hardware test with the Mac install disks, but nothing turned up. i have the latest drivers for my software and digirack 002 but i'm wondering if its a hardware problem, perhaps with the hard disks. If anyone has had similar problems or could suggest a method to solve this problem, i would much appreciate the help. i've also reinstalled OS X 10.4.2 and that's my current version of the operating system. Thanks. Deliz |

You are not alone. I've had a dual core 2.3 since they came out in October, and randomly, I will get a digital hang up or stutter, followed by a kernal panic (either a freeze or gray screen in multiple languages). I haven't contacted support as this is random, but it seems to happen at the oddest times) browsing and listening to an mp3, etc.
It seems to always involve audio of some kind, causing me to follow the same logic as you. It's only happened a few times, and I'm hoping the lates OS update may have resolved this, though I can't rule out an M-Audio issue either. Let me know what you find out. As it's not that frequent, I'm not yet worried. How many times has this happened to you? gpax |
