Not sure if anyone else has come accross this.
Mac spec Powermac G5 dual 2.7ghz 2 gb ram 250gb serial ata ati radeon 9650 RME Fireface 800 Logic Pro 7.1 Reason 3 Whenever I start Logic my hard drive starts a failry high pitch whining noise. If I then add Reason via Rewire - it gets worse? Has anyone else come accross this? |

I spoke to Apple ( again) and they agreed this should not happen. I did listen very closely to the fans with the program running but I am almost certian it is the hard drive.
I have taken it to a local Apple service repair centre today and we will soon know what the problem is as they are going to test it under warranty. I will let you know what they say.  My first instinct is to agree with td3k as with the case open I could distinclty hear the whine coming from the hard drive area of the case. But I could have been mistaken. |
