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!
