So, I have an edit bay that's mostly been turned off, or idle for the better part of year- at least.
I went to use it and it has very odd behavior:
Basically, while editing, the keyboard goes 'dead' for a a few seconds, and the mouse keeps working, then the mouse will go dead, too - then it all comes back. I replaced the mouse and keyboard, thinking the mouse was bad, but it's not - this seems to be OS-related as I can't just switch to another app. I haven't run any other apps long enough to see if they have the same behavior.
If left alone for a while (walk away for rendering, a phone call, lunch, etc.) the machine will eventually hard-crash.
Any of this smell familiar? I'd like to start using this bay again, but it's unreliable, and if I can't make a quick-fix, then I have to start with the 'shotgun' approach of maintenance, which is all I know how to do. (Nuke the system and install the OS from scratch, start adding back apps, etc. Very time consuming and that's not a luxury I have just now.)
2009 5.1 Cheesegrater, 2x6x2.66, OSx 10.12.5, 48g ram, Nvidia quadro 4000, MC 8.9.4
Any tips or thoughts appreciated!
