There are two probable sources for this to happen:

1. some faulty component(s) in your new computer. Either the RAM or the HD.
2. some (all?) audiophile RTs are from corrupted downloading.

Both causes leads to the same erratic behavior: the data read from the disk, is not the same than the one delivered to the CPU to process, so the outcome can simply not be the one expected, 'cause the RAM stick(s) are not handling the file's checksums well due to faulty timing, or the sectors where the data was written are bad.

That's the beast I can do without actually opening your machine to test.

HTH,


Thank's Kojak ! That makes a lot of sense to me.. Actually, it was a friend of me that bought this PC for me in parts, and assembled it. He is a computer technician, but I have had a feeling from the very start that something might be wrong.. Because the first I did, was to unzip some of my old RAR filesstuff to get it on the my new PC. But, when I did, I observed that it started to unzip, then hang a little, then continue, then hang a little again, a.s.o. It has never done that before... Fortunately, I have a warranty for all the parts, so I guess I can get it fixed if it turns out to be a RAM problem or something...

Will install 2017 on my laptop tomorrow and see if the same problems occur there...

Thank's a lot all of u for ur assistanse to help me out ! What would PG music be doing without this great forum????

Forever Grateful, BUT, sometimes pissed of. wink
