System Locks up overnight

[tylerr]

With Catalyst 3.3 Pro, OS 10.3.6, and the latest ATI software if I leave the system on over night in Catalyst it will lock up the entire computer. However it will only lock up if catalyst is running but not playing back video. If it is playing video it keeps on going.

To restart the computer I have to hold the power button down to shut down the computer. Its that crashed. Also the fans are running on high.

Help,

Tyler

is this still happening?

[tylerr]

yes it sure is but only when I am not on the show with it.

It has actually gotten worse apparently.

On the last show the machine seems to loose the SCSI drive but will regain it if you wiggle everything.

Its not a software problem other than maybe an OS issue.

We are going to start over with the os and then we will start replacing hardware.

sounds like a scsi problem

possibly a terminator issue.

try getting the terminators i recommended.

its only happening on 1 of our 4 machines. which ones do you like?

[samsc]

sounds even more like a scsi or cabling problem.

try swapping the cables, or removing the cables from the machine thats not working correctly.
