Mac Pro 5,1 crashes/shuts off when starting to render video with OpenCL...
Hey guys,
I have a Mac Pro 5,1 that I have been actively beefing up recently, but I've hit a bit of a snag.
Every time I try to render video with Adobe Media Encoder CC 2015 with OpenCL acceleration turned on, the computer immediately shuts itself off. When I try to render with OpenCL turned off, it gets through the render, albeit at a much reduced speed.
Everything was working fine until yesterday, when I added an ATTO R680 SAS RAID Card into PCIe Slot #2. With the card in, I'm experiencing this issue. With the card out, there is no issue. All drivers have been installed.
My initial thought was that it might be a power issue, but the ATTO card is only drawing about 10w. Could that really be the difference maker? Or is there something else that it doesn't seem to like with regard to OpenCL processing? Has anyone else run into any similar issues?
I'm really at a loss here. Any help would be incredible. Thanks in advance.
My specs are:
Mac Pro 5,1
OS X Yosemite 10.10.5
64GB RAM
PCIe #1: AMD RADEON HD 7950
PCIe #2: ATTO R680 SAS RAID Card (I just added this & then the problems arose)
PCIe #3: Kingston HyperX 480GB SSD (my boot drive)
PCIe #4: Sonnet USB3.0 PRO Card
Thanks again.
