Logic Pro X keeps crashing

My Logic Pro X continually crashes. Just shuts down without any seeming cause. Not just Logic Pro X crashes, but it instantly and simultaneously shuts down the iMac as well! I have every app turned off except for Logic Pro X but I also get (along with the "without-notice" crashes) some that say "System Overload". I do NOT have a lot of junk, nor do I have a lot of thins working in the backgorund. I thought Mavericks was supposed to "compress" memory and reduce the workload. Doesn't seem to work on MINE! I am running a brand new iMac with 8 Gb memory, so why all the crashing? It does save my work automatically when it dies, but this is crazy. I don't remember Logic Pro 9 EVER craashing. Any ideas of what is causing this. P.S. I am not the average idiot who doesn't have a shred of computer knowledge. I actually work on Macs and that's why this is such a mystery as to why Logic Pro X goes into sudden death every few minutes. Any ideas are welcome.

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9), Logic Pro X

I realize this is an older thread but i wanted to put this in, just incase somebody else searches it. The problem (1 of many) is the way Logic handles multithread and cores. or lack of the ability to handle them.

He has a great write up on how lame logic is and that apple refuses to admit that logics engine is old and out of date. Also the AU Plugin only supports 16 midi channels. Meaning, you can only access 1 plug in up to 16 channels. In PT and every other DAW you have the choice of 1- 1-16 and 2-1-16. etc..

Not sure why logic won't update but whatever. Just don't leave a track record enabled. It will kill the single core and cause problems..
