Hard crashes on 10.2 like 3-4 times a day

[jjamesbomb]

Anyone else get hard crashes, no message or anything ? I'm on latest Mac OS and updated plugins. Running 96 k on an Apogee Symphony connect to Hd3 - very strange, was more stable w my Lynx Aurora

Thanks !

More sys info needed. I doubt the interface is the cause.

I just re-installed everything on a new drive...first time working in 2 days - bam, same thing happens. Super hard crash, no warnings no nothing just bye bye...anyone else ?

i've had maybe 6 crashes of the kernal type with my new rig

i've also had many laterly 9073 errors when scrubbing audio

as a side topic

what is causing this?

I think I solved it now !! Had a 2 year old ssd that was causing it. Wasn't even the system drive any more but had samples for kontakt on it...I found out when the computer wouldn't start after hard crash and I pulled everything out till it would start again. Bingo. HD cards are fine, ram is fine...new ssd drive installed, dumped the old...all good again.

what was the drive? I've been getting CRUSHED recently with crashes (I've done ALL the troubleshooting) and before I shotgun my Mac Pro i should make sure the SSD isn't doing it.

I'm using a Crucial RealSSD C300 for my system drive.....

thanks for any info
