bayoubill Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I go into my DAW and do what I always do. I start playing with a drum synth then record a bass line with it and jam. Today my pc stopped for about 10 seconds and rebooted. It happened 3 times. I've never seen this before. Has anyone else ran into this? There's something about a stop code then a countdown then reboot Very frustrating when I just want to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I haven't seen anything like that except caused by IO drop-outs. Pop open task manager. Is anything using your hard drive competing for resources? Do you have 500 takes on each track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubill Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Thanks for responding! No my Audient iD14 broke down and I've just been opening new projects to practice or jam with. I did recently update windows. I'm also using my POD HD500x till my Audient comes back Frustrating trying to down a backing track and all of a sudden the pc is rebooting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Could be one of any number of things... The reboot suggests overheating or maybe malware. I see you have a Studio Cat-built system. I suggest you give Jim Roseberry a call... Maybe he can remote in and figure out what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitflipper Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Yes, I have seen that on at least three occasions I can recall. Once it was a defective power supply. Once it was dust-clogged fans. The third time it was defective capacitors on the motherboard (if anyone remembers the Dell fake-cap episode some years ago). So yup, it's hardware. First step: open your computer and give it a thorough cleaning, especially the power supply and CPU fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 My old desktop pc started doing that a lot. I eventually heard a tick in my tower. After pulling a plastic cover off I could see a wire from my main power switch was arcing on the frame. Super fast blip was making it reboot. Id check your power connections just in case ..
