PT 6.2.2 LE Crash every 2. minut ?

[Michael E]

Got this problem with my new setup, If i´m not saving every 2 minut when working in recording/edit mode, my PT sudenly crash. It´ll freez or simply just clossing down sometimes with a short message of " PT quit unexpectally ". Well I guessed ;-) .
I got this idea about, if I need 2 Gb ram maybee, but that shouldn´t be nessecary.
Anybody experienced this and/or know what the problem is, I would be very happy.
( Sorry ´bout my european English )
I don´t use any other plug-ins but the click-track, when recording.

I am having the same problem! First my 002 Control kept failing, then 6.2.2. keeps crashing!
What the hell is Digidesign doing? I didn't spend $3gs to get chumped!
AND I followed all the troubleshooting steps that Digidesign suggested at the top of the DUC!

* AN OPEN NOTE TO DIGIDESIGN*
Get your act together or YOU WILL LOOSE YOUR CORE CONSUMERS!
Give me an alternative and Im OUT.
I am PIS*ED!

There are several alternatives out there, you don't have to look far to find them. Props to you for doing some troubleshooting on your own first, but since going through the troubleshooting steps didn't solve your problem, have you tried calling digidesign support? It's not likely that they'll see your message here as they rarely visit this USER conference, so if you need support directly from them call them during their support office hours. digidesign contact info

Well I also think Digidesign should and probally are about to find the bug, but I´m serious about this product, and I´m NOT gonna fall off, just because of some minor problems. I´ve been working with Digidesign PT for about 6 years and are happy about it.
I´ve been upgrading the OS to 10.3.2 and that have fixed the most problems. Now I can work for about 1 before 6.2.2 crash. So maybe it´s some extiension taht has to be off, that I haven´t found yet. If anybody has any good ideas just come on.

My friend had the same problem and defragging fixed it so far. trashing the plist etc works. Sometimes just back everything up and wipe out your drives and start from scratch. Getting angry never works but is always my first reaction. smoke one and come back the next day and do some computer maintanence.

I've installed several of these systems and had very few problems and have always been able to figure out the cause for the 'unexpectedly quit' error messages.

You've tried all the applicable solutions in Answerbase #26524?

If so - do you have any other devices attached to the computer? Do you have any other apps running in the background, including Anti-virus, system maintenance or firewalls? Do you have an Airport card installed? Did you repair disk permissions BEFORE installing Pro Tools? Do you have any other audio applications installed?

Provide a bit more info and/or call Digi Tech support. It's very likely that your rig can be made solid, it just takes some troubleshooting. Expecting EVERY system to run flawlessly from day 1 is absolutely crazy. Computer systems are so complex that it would be impossible to accomplish that task, so be patient, be methodical and work through all the possible solutions.

Thanks for the Ideas
I tried some thing different, thinking that My OS 10.3.2 maybe is a bit to new to be problem free, I caught up the Jaguar 10.2.6 and reinstalled PT with the v. 6.1 that was offered on the CD. And "Wauv". Out of the box, it simply just runs perfect, no breakdowns yet, The machine seems to run a bit faster and there are no DAE errors or anything, I´m amazed.
I will come back in 2 weeks telling if this still works. But right now, no new versions are gonna go to that hard-drive ;-)...

Motto: If it works ! Don´t touch it...
