Worst day of Pro tools in my life ...

Just wanted to share with you, I hope tomorow will be another day. Had 3 jobs to do today, I did nothing new compared to yesterday, no new installations, nothing and ... It started with a blank screen when I started the computer (the TFT screen just died), then no possbility to do any search in the workspace ("assertion ..."), then came the crashes, I think I had something like 20 or more PT crashes today ... Now I'm doing the mixdown of the big show I have to deliver tomorow and PT crashes now and then, even when nothing is touched. Of course I did all the troubleshooting, I've never seen that before ... I just wanted to share with you guys, sometimes it helps just to talk ... Pascal

sounds like your computer just went down the toilet. Is it on a UPS? Was there a power surge or something that could have tweaked it out and fried the monitor?

Sounds almost exactly the issues I was having back in March. Bad Stick of RAM....?

After you do all the usual trashing of prefs and reboot stuff I'd look at the memory next. Damage from a power spike could be almost anything--very hard to trace. Philip Perkins

Thank you for your input on my problems. I did not think about a bad RAM stick, I'll have a look. I will be working in the studio again in a few hours, I'll see if the problems are still there, I don't know what to hope .... Thanks for your time. Pascal

Could be a drive problem. Your boot drive maybe? The last time mine went down it took a couple of days to fully trash itself.

The system has been installed just 4 month ago ... but it could be possible. I'll also keep an eye on it. Thanks for your input. Pascal
