Default HELP!!! PT8 on Mac DAE 6004 ERROR

Hi all,

I have a G5 with a PE6R4 MAGMA. I run a HD4 system on PT8.1.1. Last week I hooked up too new dual monitors and since then PT's hangs at "creating DAE objects" and reports a DAE 6004 ERROR saying it cannot communicate with the HW. I can hear the relays in my 192 IOs flick as usual before it crashes. Also the system passes a full digitest no problem.

I have removed all accel cards and now only have the core card in the system. Same problem. I have put in a new HDD with a fresh install of Snow leopard and PT's. Cleared PRAM, put the HDD to private in spotlightetc.. I am at the end of my tether. Any help is highly appreciated.

Adam.

ok,

I worked this out. I had a hunch it may have been the magma chasis. I suspected the psu. Even though it looks and sounds fine and the digitest passed with flying colours pt8 would hang at creating DAE objects and generate the 6004 error.

I went and purchased a reasonable good 500W PSU from PC world (cost me £60) and it resolved all of the issues. System now seems back to its stable self. I think that for the price MAGMA should provide a better quality PSU especially when they charge over $300 for a new one!

Adam.
