Re: [Avid-L2] Are you a Mac Pro expert?

 

Thanks everyone for all the ideas.  Out of office for a couple days.  I don't think it's heat- unless a fan quit.

I suspect memory conflict in gpu or ram.   Will do more testing when back at it!

I use SMC Fan Control on my MacPros to set the floor for fan speed. They certainly are vacuum cleaners of dust in the machine room.

That was the thing that clued me in to what was going on with my systems. Working fine, set something up to crunch, walk away, come back to an on system with black screens and unresponsive.
