Hello to all,
I've had a problem with my G5 8-core Xenon ever since I bought it last spring and hope that someone here will be kind enough to help. Sorry about the length of this message, but I'm desperate for help.
Here's my hardware set-up:
*Processor 065-7534 Two 3.0GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeo
*Memory 10 Gig ram
*Graphics Card 065-7182 ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256MB
*Hard Drive Bay 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb
*Hard Drive Bay 750GB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb
*Four Western Digital 500G external drives, using Firewire 800
I'm a composer and I use my Mac Pro on an average of 8 hours a day with Leopard 10.5.5, Digital Performer 6.01 and numerous third party audio apps and plug-ins. Digital Performer crashes on me at once every hour, and I've been through the ringer in my search for finding out why. I've spent many, many hours on music forums and had two different techs from the local Apple store come out and access the situation...they all suggested a total OS re-install.
I did a total OS-X re-install two weeks ago, and re-installed all my third party software (what a pain!). I still have the crashes. The latest verdict is it's not Digital Performer. It could be my hardware or Spotlight and "mds" trying to index a corrupt file that might be causing me problems.
Is there anyone on line that I can send Console crash logs and help me decipher what's really going on? I'm an novice at reading these crash logs, and I really need some expert help. Any advice would really be appreciated!
Thanks,
Rod
