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 forgot I had subscribed to this thread.
Shortly after I posted here in mid January, I had to send my "new" dual core back for a complete replacement of the logic board. They also found that four major screws were missing that held the board in place - basically a manufacturing defect. Apple Care helped through the process (where I found I couldn't even boot from a start up CD without a panic), but I paid for the Pro Care service rather than wait weeks. In my case, the Kernel panics and revving fans were hardware related. Now things have run smoothly for the past three months. I also recenlty changed my audio interface to a MOTU ultralite which seems to have none of the conflicts that I was experiencing with M-Audio gear. It may just be a perception, but it's far more stable. cheers gpax |
