Q: Rendering turns Mac Pro Off (fcp, Afx, Comp)
Please help if you know???
Rendering shuts down my Mac pro 8 core. Just started happening. "Motion" is fine, but Final Cut (just rendering) and After FX (rendering out) and Compressor makes my CPU jump to 300-500% and it just shuts down. (checked in activity monitor) Of course, it's when a project is nearing delivery.
I think it's Qmaster's fault, but don't think that would affect After FX too. Had a virtual cluster set up and system started randomly shutting down.
Tried-
- dumping all related preferences
- virus/trojan scan
- turning apps power down
- Cleaning out speed freak (wasn't using anyway)
- terminal - sudo rm -Rf/private/var/spool/qmaster
- pemissions, tech tool, disk utility
Hoping to fix without re-installing OS. It's not just FCP, so don't plan to re-install that. Ideas? Please??? Thanks!
