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?

This happens quite frequently especially with Ableton 5.0.3. then again, i can work with the program for a an hour or two and things are fine. i upgraded to OS X 10.4.3 and nothing seemed to change, although this was a couple months ago and now i've decided to stick with the 10.4.2 version. i'll definetely keep you updated on the subject if i can figure what the problem is. jay

Hi Deliz, Do what rickenbacker says. Contact Apple Care. They will walk you through a test or two to find out if your problem is software or hardware. The hardware test that Apple has on their computers is not reliable at all. I have a Power Mac G4 dual processor Panther. It went belly up when it got a power surge from lightening. The computer wound up being with the local Authorized Apple Care Support Technician for twelve weeks! He kept insisting it was a software problem. He ran the hardware test and the computer passed. I also ran the hardware test and the computer passed. He finally did what he was supposed to do in the beginning, that is take each component and test it to see if it’s all right. He wound up putting in a new Logic Board, a Dual Processor Module, an 80GB Internal ATA Hard Drive, 4X SuperDrive w/Tray, 32x Internal ATA CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo, and 512MB SDRAM DIMM, all paid for by Apple. Your problem is different than what I had, but don’t put any faith in Apple’s hardware test. It isn’t worth spit! Do like rickenbacker says. If you’re under warranty, let Apple fix it.

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

Thanks for the advice, guys! I did run the hardware test and nothing came up. I also ran 'disk permissions' on each drive and have emptied the cache for my web browsers, safari and firefox, although now i only use firefox. i've heard that tech tool pro 4 is the best software to use in determining a hardware problem, if there is one. i'll try that before shipping it away for a couple months. thanks, deliz

Well I've had my dual core 2.3 for 1.5 months and today I came home after leaving it on all day (normal) and the fans were SCREAMING when I got in. THere was no excessive heat tho and no precesses going. I've been working with ableton 5.0.3 too and no problems but today non stop crashes with any audio stuff. I've just purchased some powered speakers and use MAudio Ozonic keyboard to play sound though so I'm wandering if its an maudio thing too. Could i be overloading plug sockets? Are there any tests I can do at home before I take it in? It's only 6 weeks old A

I'm not 100% sure but i think i've narrrowed the problem down to Ableton 5.0.3. I also use ProTools 7.0 and although it did crash once, it's been a lot more stable than Ableton. If you go on the ableton website you'll notice that a lot of people have issues with the program due to certain configurations or whatever. i'm not ruling out that i have a 'general audio' problem with the dual-core G5 because at one point, safari was crashing when i downloaded tracks from beatport (or even listened to audio) and firefox did as well, and Mac OS X crashed when i closed the 'finder' program, go figure. in the next few days i'll be using only ProTools 7.0 and i'll determine, then, if i have an audio/hardware problem, or an Ableton 5.0.3 problem. deliz
ps ar10003: call apple technical support and they can guide you through some tests to perform or insert your OS X install disks and run an apple hardware test on the whole system.
