Hi Guys
I finally got my new build and have been testing it out this weekend, but have encountered a serious freezing issue where everything locks up and the only solution is to press reset.
I get this using a very small session with only 13 audio tracks and using all cubase plugins. I can work for about 15 minutes and then …freeze!
Here are the new builds specs
Chip - Intel® Core i7 3820 Processor - 3.60GHz
Motherboard - INTEL® X79 Siler
RAM - 4096MB 2000hz, DDR3 x 4 = 16gig Ram
Primary HDD - 128GB SSD SATA 2.5"
Secondary HDD - 2.0 TB-7200RPM-Western Digital Caviar Black - Serial ATA III (SATA3)
Graphics Card - Asus gt 520 1 gig fanless
PSU - 750 watt
Windows 7 - Ultimate 64bit
I am currently using the generic asio driver as I’m testing this machine at home before taking it to my studio.
Two problems I’ve narrowed it down to…
1 Graphics card…I battled finding reliable drivers for the card…the latest ones are buggy and cause severe lock ups when watching video. I am using the ones from the Asus site dated July last year. They seem to work well all round , but because of the initial issues experienced with the graphics drivers this is my number one suspect.
2 Ram - even though the ram is 2000 the bios shows it at 1.333. Not sure why the auto bios set up is underclocking and if this could be the cause.
3 SSD drive- not sure why I suspect it, right now I’m super suspicious of everything
I’m returning it to the guy who built it to me tomorrow, but in the mean time if anyone reads this and has any ideas I’ll be most grateful to hear them…
