Dual 500 G4 768 Mg RAM Lacie Firewire Hard Disc Stealth Port Sonorus ADAT Card 2 x AMT Unitor 8 on stealth port System 9.2 Logic Platinum 5.3 with exs24 Mackie DB8 Got a BIG problem... I've worked with logic since version 1.0 and frankly my dear im confused.. Is it logic 5 that is riddled with bugs? Or is it me? Please tell me if you have any known conflicts with extensions, Plug ins or any advice you can think of... I am getting crashes literally every five minutes With no seeming regularity between the causes Sometimes it works for a whole hour! Can't work at all... Spoken to the helpline - no help... Reinstalled the Mac : formatted the drive : reinstalled everything again No Joy exactly the same.... made two version of logic One without plug-ins installed one with.. no joy Removed also a scsi card that was in the mac no joy... It was an adaptec card could this have caused a hardware fault? It may have been an old one>.. Could it be the stealth port? Any known issues between stealth port and sonorous Any software issues with any major progs? Thanks for any help thrash ------------------------------------------------------- kdx: blackbanana.dyndns.org mail: thrash@...

Have you tried zapping the PRAM? I had problems too after installing 5 - but I've since become sure it's nothing to do with Logic. In my case, I believe that a SCSI card is the culprit - or more to the point, a badly designed connector on the card causing an unstable connection and random system lockups. At least I hope that's the reason! (I'm about to purchase a new card, but was going to go for an Adaptec one!) All I can suggest is to disconnect all uneccessary cards and hardware. Try running Logic with the bare minimum of extensions and hardware, and see if your problems go away. Have you run Disc First Aid on the Lacie and System drives? If you're using the Lacie for Audio, what happens if you take it out of the equation and run Audio from your system drive? I don't believe that LAMP5 is full of bugs, or I believe that we'd be hearing a lot more on this list! All I can suggest is a long, drawn out process of elimination!

Hi Thrash! I had the same problem after inserting a new 256K Memory Simm (or was it Dimm?) into my G4 that had a manufacturing failure. Took an apple repair service and actually quite a bit of money to find that out. Hope this helps and good luck. Patrick

I run LAMP 5 on a G4 as well, and with hardly a crash ever. Rock solid, really. And I have every extension loaded you can think of, so that's not the problem... Lots of software installed, doing all kinds of things in a day, and still no problema... >Removed also a scsi card that was in the mac no joy... >It was an adaptec card could this have caused a hardware fault? >It may have been an old one>.. I too have an Adaptec SCSI card... >Any software issues with any major progs? Well, after running whichever M$ application, I tend to restart the Mac before attempting to launch Loogic. Not necessary per se, but the crashes I _did_ have were mostly right after running some M$ piece of &^%$. I would try hardware stuff if I were you. Pull out the cards you don't really need (SCSI, 2nd monitor, whatever), and try again. Or, as another poster suggested, pull out RAM boards one by one and try again. A crash every 5 minutes really is _not_ normal. -- Hendrik Jan Veenstra <h@...> Omega Art: http://www.ision.nl/users/h/index.html
