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 |

Hello Jay,
I'm running a dual 25MHz G5. A different machine than yours. but I had the same problem. I was Safari! Make sure you clean out the cache regularly and you might try a little app caled Safari Enhanser. Repair permissions using your OSX progran disc regularly.(Not a utility.) And run Tech Tools and Diskwarrior regularly. When you switch over to your music apps make sure Safari is not active. I hope this helps. There is no worse feeling than when you just finished the chorus that's been fighting you and the machine shuts down. All is lost. DANO10
