I'm having some problems with my mid-2010 Mac Pro that I'm hoping someone here can help with.
Mid 2010 CMP.
Upgraded via 2 x secondhand 3.46GHz Xeon.
12GB original RAM + 2 x 8GB OWC DIMM (28GB total).
Big Sur via OCLP.
Patched Radeon RX580.
The machine generally works well and doesn't really struggle with the moderate loads that I put on it. If I push it too hard when I use it as a DAW, then it does have occasional app-level crashes.
However, I am getting a regular major lockup - i.e. GUI / mouse/kbd freeze, Mac disappears from the LAN etc. I have to power cycle to resolve this.
I have spent the whole weekend trying to isolate the problem by running a looping playback test with Pro Tools and the following:
RAM rearrangement.
Swap between new RAM only / original RAM only.
Uninstall Blackmagic video driver / kext.
Use different audio hardware as audio device for system + Pro Tools.
"Quitting" various software etc.
But I'm still getting the same lockup problem.
The locking nature of the crash seems like a hardware problem to me, but I'm no expert. I did upgrade the CPUs on the Mac Pro, but the unit runs cool and I have very conservative fan settings.
Next step is a fresh install of Big Sur, but after that I'm lost.
I'll paste some logs below - can anyone help?
Last panic report:
routined crash report, logged likely at the time of the last freeze:
