828 Crashing System?

Post by DP Fan »

Hey everyone. I have an 828mkII and I'm using it with Digital Performer 6.01. I'm running OSX 10.5.5. I just downloaded and reinstalled the driver for the 828 from MOTU's website.

The basic problem is that when I have the 828 on...I get very frequent crashes of the OS. The screen goes grey and I get that unpleasant 'you need to restart your computer' message. After restarting, I get that 'the OS unexpectedly quit' message.

The computer runs fine when the 828 is off. When I turn the 828 on...computer crashes. I've been using the 828 for about 4 years with no prior problems...

I've had the computer for about 6 months and everything had been working fine. About a week ago this started happening. The only thing that changed a week ago was I did some seemingly unrelated software updates (iTunes 8.0.2, QuickTime 7.5.5, and Security Update 2008-007).

Any thoughts?

I moved this to the OSX/MOTU Hardware section...
