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 |

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. |
