HD 3 PCIe, Mac Pro 3.1, 16gb ram, PT10 HD
My system has developed some strange issues all of a sudden. It's almost as if it's become affected by a virus (is this possible)? Firstly, the transport buttons are behaving strangely, where usually hitting the 'forward' or 'back' button once would increment the play position by one bar, it will do this for a few bars normally then jump to some random point (for example 200 bars into the timeline, way beyond the end of the audio). Then next click and it will jump to something like bar 360 (for example). The same happens whatever project I open and it's different positions each time.
In addition, the CPU keeps maxing out (playback stops, or stutters then stops followed by an error message saying CPU overload). This happens on the simplest project with a handful of tracks and plugins to large projects with several tracks and plugins. The problems are really steifeling my workflow and I'm baffled as to what's causing this.
There are two things I've done recently that I can think of which are relevant and potentially causing the problem, the first is that I upgraded from HD2 to HD3. The first two cards were bought together as an HD2 system whereby the 3rd that I've added is a used card from EBay. I noticed it is an earlier revision to my HD2 cards. I believe from memory the first 2 cards are revision 'J' and the 3rs card I've fitted is revision 'D'.
The other thing is I imported a MIDI file downloaded from the internet into a project (something I'd never done before) - just wondering if it could have been infected somehow? I don't have any antivirus software on my PT system.
has anyone experienced something similar or can she some light?
