OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 Crashing Constantly

You would only need to reformat your drive if you ran Disk Utility from Recovery Drive and the results advised that you reformat.

Uninstall Avast.

Avast Un-install

Maybe something useful.. I installed Clean My Mac 3 und Cleaned/Repaired everything, but I think this helped nothing... BUT... I opend a Pro Tools session containing a ProRes File... and it did not open, ProTools crashed immediately bevor my arrangement should appear... everytime. Then I moved the video outside the ProTools folder so PT had to search and realign it again... and it opened. The interesting thing was Clean My Mac mentioned some Quicktime tasks that did not respond and crashed. So maybe its a Video Codec problem, not only a Final Cut Pro X problem.

Still didn't get it why my imac late 2013 27" wants me to install that video pro codec 2.0.1.0 over and over again.

ps.: PT did not crash that badly like FCPX, but it crashed the "normal" way.

Clean My Mac is probably the culprit for your problems. See this discussion out using Clean My Mac Re: Re: 3 GBs used, no apps running.

Thanks for the link and information. I have Clean My Mac 2 since a long time and despite very few (maybe two) "black screen system crashes" with mavericks. I had it many times yesterday... it was and is horrible if you have to work on it. I updated to Yosemite with the release of fcpx 10.2.

But does anyone have a clue why my mac wants me to install that new codec again and again?

Did you ask on the Final Cut Pro X Discussion list?

Hi, I will post mine too, maybe it's useful. Btw. I had that cold starts/kernel panic once with a really fresh installation of mavericks... I can remember because I thought about a hardware fail of my new IMac, so I don't think a clean Mac OS could help. I just could fix my pro video codec installation problem thanks to this community, and I read about others having this black screen crashes...I really hope Apple is informed about this problem. Here my file:
