Hi,

It points towards this same track every time? so either there's a plugin on this track which is incompatible or out of date or the audio on this track has become corrupted.

First check all plugins are up to date!!

what plugins are on this track?

If you do manage to get this track to load, then select all the audio on that track from the beginning of the song and use consolidate to create a new audio file for the regions on this track! then open a new session and import everything except the problem track then import the new consolidated audio into the new session. this will eliminate an audio region corruption.

Total system freeze is quite a serious issue and its possible for incompatible plugs to cause this!! so double check your plugins are all the latest versions as i mentioned above. and let us know the plugins on the problem track.

There are many other possible causes! hard drive / Ram etc, but start with the obvious and easy to eliminate possible causes first.

Chris
