weird problem with core card

[DHG MUSIC]

Dear Gentleman and colleagues

I came to the solution of a problem that is been freaking me the f..ck out lately


since I upgraded to PT 10.2 I started having these errors like

1 PROTOOLS DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH VOICES TO ALLOCATE.

2 The computer would restart by itself

3 I would hit play and no sound would come out of the session


After a million trials and errors, aside from removing all the cards from the magma chasis, the host card, re installing OS, protools, plugins, checking for latest versions etc. I really dont know how I came to this soultion but it works, and I was wondering if it tells you anything


What I do now is start protools and before loading a session, I open the USAGE WINDOW and option click on the chips of the core card, to allocate them all, stoping Protools from loading any plugin on those chips and presto. IT F...ING WORKED


Im not sure if there is something wrong with the code, or the cosmos wanted that the same afternoon I installed 10.2 my core card went bananas. but now it works steady without a single problem


Does anyone has any idea what the hell is happening?



Thanks in advance

Why are you still using v10.2? v10.3.4 is available.

Have you ran DigiTest on your cards?

[DHG MUSIC]

Hello

First, thanks a lot for answering.


Yes I am already on the very last version. if you read my message it says SINCE. I upgraded to that version.


And yes I run the digitest. nothing wrong



Again thanks for your answer

[Chief Technician]

What happens when you put the core card in the CPU?

[DHG MUSIC]

I havent noticed, I will look and tell you

However, I can tell you that if I dont allocate the chips, the session will die

[Chief Technician]

Let's see if the chassis is contributing to the problem.

This system, has remained the same since 2003. Same chassis. Changed the motherboard when changed computer ( pci-e)


More important. the system worked flawless last year
with PT 9 PT 10 and 10.1


when 10.2 showed up then all hell broke loose


Im suspecting a bad core card maybe?

If you have the same problem with the card in the CPU, then yes, plus you eliminate the chassis as a contributing factor.

[DHG MUSIC]

I have no way to eliminate the chassis. My cards are pci, my computer pci e


but thats besides the point.
