I am not using v6 yet, but if you're confident you've tried everything (and I read it as you are), then I'll propose the following:

Do you have crashreporter enabled? If so, you'll have a log file of the crash located in Macintosh HD:Users:<your user name>:Library:Logs, and it will probably be named "Pro Tools.crash.log". You could post the log entry here and hope someone from Digi sees it and says "A-ha!".

If you don't have it on, here's how to do it.

I must say I'm glad Apple has this feature in OS X. In OS 9 you had to have MacsBug, which was arcane, involved user intervention, and if you didn't recognize it when it came up, you'd freak out.

I'm having problems with PT6 suddenly Just quitting...Right to the finder. No error message, no restart message. I have tried repairing permissions, used disk warrior on my drive, Made sure everything is Mac HFS+, Re-installed my OS (10.2.3) to a clean drive. What gives?
Nothing I do seems to have any bearing on the problem...
what am I Missing?

P.S.-Mirror door Dual 867. PT 6.01. Using firewire for session drives. Mix3 w/ 1 -888/24.

Ok, here's the latest-

Have now Re-initialized my HD. Re-installed the OS, redownloaded 10.2.3 from Apple. Re-installed that. Installed PT 6...And crashes. I dont get it. I'm pretty baffled now. this is starting to stink like a HW issue.
If anyone has any ideas, keep 'em coming.

Upgrade to 10.2.5?
That's what we are testing 6.01 with.
Not on long sessions but it definitely works and is stable.

We have the same experience. We have tried almost everything without any effect. Than we have changed one of the RAM DIMMs and it seems to be much better now. So it probably may be problem of incompatible RAMs. You can try it and let me know if it helps.

Same problem here. Tried 6(.01) once, and all of a sudden the whole session and program wasn't there anymore.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Yup. This is it...I thought it might be the workspace browser as well...but then it quit when it wasn't open.
I'm gonna try RAM now.
