Unstable system

[Arthur Porter]

I have MC9.1 SP2 running on a Dell 3 gig computer. Several times a day it gives me the "MC has made an error and will now shut down" as it goes Bye-Bye.

Also; I was able to have four copies of MC9.0 running on the old Dell 1 gig computer without problems. Not so with the new MC and Dell. One copy of MC9.1sp2 is all that works.

What is wrong?

Well we need a little info.

 

1) What OS Win2k,WinXP or Win98

 

2)what is the Video in box and did you updat this with the latest frivers not the ones that dell ships in it.

Thanks for the reply.

OS is XP

It's set up to software stripe two hard drives for increased speed.

The video card is ATI, Fire GL X1, 128MB, 1-2 VGA/DVI

They down loaded the latest drivers.

 

Mastercam bailed out twice yesterday with only one copy running.

Any help will be appreciated.

Arthur are you running Scusi Raid or IDE raid?

 

If you are running IDE there is big trouble in China.

 

There have been many troubes running Raid on IDE raid.

[Arthur Porter]

I have two SCSI hard drives.

XP Raid is enabled.

CPU has Hyperthreading enabled.

No hardware Raid.

 

What do you suggest?

 

Thanks again.

Iskander teh old ATI hater !

I am not going after Video do to that he is running the High end Fire GL series that does support open GL.

 

I am thinking that it is not like the software raid.

 

I wish there was a way to turn off for a test base.

 

Scsi is good but not software raid.

 

Still sound like a nice box thow.
