Could be anything. Could do with more system info like OSX version, audio interface, etc. When you say latest version of 10.3 do you mean PT 10.3.10 which is the last version Avid put out. iLok plugged in and working? What else do you have running on your computer when trying to start PT? With a machine with as meager resources as you have I'm not surprised there's issues.

Amazing you got a severely underpowered system to even do any work with PT. I sure wouldn't and definitely not for paying clients. You still haven't answered the question: what version of OSX? Separate drive for PT to record to? And please tell me you don't let this system sleep.

Have you done all the necessary optimizations? I don't give a rodent's posterior if the system has worked okay for you in the past. You're having problems now with a bare bones system. And I sure wouldn't mix for paying clients on headphones connected direct to a Mac. That's a recipe for poor audio. Mac's don't have the necessary power to drive a decent set of cans.

Authorized plugins doesn't mean a thing in this case. What third party plugins are you running?
