  WILL Crash LOGS write/record after full lock up of mosheen?

  Probably should be posted in another forum. Sorry if so, but going crazy.

  I know this ain’t supposed to happen, but with increasing frequency while editing in Final Cut, everything—cursor, system, everything—locks up solid. Even the read/write acess indicator lights on my external drives all light up and freeze. Requiring a hard re-start.

  Started about a month ago and maybe happened once a week. Now, every hr.

  Trying to trouble shoot even tho I know it’s hardware. Mosheens a APPLE re-furbed G5 I’ve had for only 6 months.

  G5 DP 2.5 2 gigs RAM
  (4X512 mb DDR SDRAM PC3200-30330 STICKS OF Kingston RAM as I recall)
  OSX10.4.8
  PCI CARDS: Radion 9600 XT in slot 1
  LaCie FW 800 card in slot 2 w/drives connected
  LaCie PWR SATA card in slot 3 & 2-250 GIG SATA DRIVES
  Black Magic DeckLink Extreme slot 4

  All was updated hoping to fix (knowing it wouldn’t) this just this weekend.

  Am in the process of moving all media to one drive array at a time to see if it makes a difference, but half way thru and no change.

  Ran hardware test and said everything’s good. Reset NVRam, ran DiscWarrior
  which repaired 13 Text encodings 10 of which were in Final CutPro.app/Contents—something or other if it matters.

  Now to question: will crash logs write on a full system freeze, not just an app crash? And which logs to look at? The ones that come up in system profiler?
  console, error, panic or system?

  I’m getting a bit desperate here with deadlines looming.

  Fact is, I know it’s not gonna be a perifreral, as I had all this stuff working fine
  on my G4. Shoulda never gone for the re-furb…oh well.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks,

  p2
