Since Apple replaced the main logic board or whatever the main brain is called, crashes have greatly reduced. The problem of disappearing render files continues, however.

But on my 8 core, once Apple gave it a new brain, the situaion improved enormously.

PS. 8 core with 4 gigs RAM

Mike,

My crashing problems continue, usually associated with rendering. I was wondering if you had found any cure for this yet…?

best wishes,

Harry

Forgive my ignorance, Anders, but what is “paging”?

JeremyG,

Yes, I am using ProRes.

And thanks for the link to the Apple site.

My Apple vendor installed all four of my 1GBs on one tier.

I guess that could be contributing, huh?

But when I called Apple, they said it was ok all on one tier but the support guy DID say that some people experienced crashes using Blackmagic cards (me) and 4 GBs. He said that when they removed 2 GBs and slimmed down to using the remaining two GIGS their problem seemed to be solved.

In any case I’ll move them around today and report back.

Thanks for the reply

Many thanks for the tip. You think this is a ProRes vs RAM problem, it seems to me.

[Harry Bromley-davenport]

Thanks a lot Anders.

I’m going to try to borrow 4 gigs of RAM from my dealer for a week to see if that improves matters.

It’s been a nightmare. I have, in the last two weeks done 5 complete erase everything and installs. At least I know that ohers are suffering too.

And yes, please do keep this board informed about your progress.

Harry

Sorry – I meant another 4GB of RAM , bringing your total to 8GB.
