White screen of death

Post by Gate 13 »

Dear All,

I am devastated.
I was working day night at a project, I was so happy with my music.
This morning I am turning on my Mac Pro (2006 model) and I open the DP7 project, while the instruments are loading in DP and in Plogue Bidule, I click on a track and it gets stuck.... the whole mac.
I force reboot it and when I turn it on again there is the white screen of death, I searched online how to troubleshoot.... I did everything, I used the safe mode, I reinstalled the OS, I used the disk utility ( all drives are ok).
In safe mode there is no way to plug a flash drive and save your work because it does not recognize the usb flash drive when in safe mode.


The irony is that I wanted to do one more day of work before I deliver...I forgot to save it yesterday

Tomorrow I will start removing the extra memory I had added a ling time ago (in pairs) and see if this will do any difference...
Any tips from you guys are always appreciated....
So devastating....
