Hi everybody I need to finish up a project for somebody and something has
gone very wrong with my machine. I need help ASAP! I've been fighting with
this for hours but it's right back to where it was before.
I was working in sonar all of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning. I
took a break on Saturday and shut the machine down. When I restarted it,
jaws was a little shaky. I opened sonar and armed a track. I went into
record and about three bars into it, the machine just shuts off! And the
fan works by the way. I haven't ran into any cooling issues in the 3 years
I've had her.
Now, I start the machine up again and nothing happens. After over five
minutes, jaws starts automatically, but starts many many times! And when I
try to close it, it opens it again. Like it's stuck in a loop. So I shut
it down and restarted again. Now when I go into sonar, which takes a long
time to load, I can't play any audio. It just won't have it.
I've ran noadware and reg scrub. Symantec didn't find anything, I haven't
been on the internet or downloaded anything in a couple of days.
Right now, I am only running jaws and outlook and jaws is responding slow,
over 2 seconds behind.
Here's the machine specs just in case anybody wants them, Del laptop, 2.4
gigahertz Pentium 4, 1gig ram, 60gig internal hd, win xp pro, sonar 4.04,
jaws 6, the latest cake talking scripts for this version, 500 gig USB2
external hd, Tascam FW1884.
Also, as a side note, when I hit the control panel button on the Tascam,
nothing happens, but, if I go into the control panel folder and open it that
way, it opens after around ten seconds.
I left it off overnight for nine hours so I don't' think it's an overheating
issue. The fan is running but not at full tilt.
Any advice on fixing this would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Cameron.
