Is my Receptor loosing it's memory ?

[pianodano]

Hello,

I am working on a song project that uses 2 instances of Colossus running on Receptor. No effects are running. The instruments loaded are mostly single voice instuments (bass, trumpet, sax etc. The first instance has 6 instruments loaded, the second has 3. The machine has been running very well and I have used the described instuments for a 40-50 hours on the current project. I did have to up the buffers to the max. There are very few sounds or notes played at the same time

Yesterday however, something weird began happening. The cpu indicator began maxing out on just a couple of notes and dropouts started occuring. I decided to shut everything down and reboot. Odly, when Receptor shut down, it said as usual that it was saving settings, but on reboot it loaded a blank multi. I had not seen that before.

I tried playing the sequence again and noticed the DFD indicator was in the red, almost continuously, the cpu meter was peaked and dropouts occurred with just 3 notes. I have not fiddled with the DFD selections. I emphasize Receptor had been playing the same Colossus instruments perfectly during recording of the entire project before yesterday. Yesterday was mix day. Wouldn't you know it.

Could anyone recommend starting point to find a solution ?

My Receptor is about 2 mos old. Running 1.3, 1.2 g ram.

Thanks

Danny

UPDATE: Trying again this morning. Seems to take an exceptional amount of time to load instruments. With described instrumets loaded CPU meter is avg about 60% idling (nothing playing). IT cannot get past the first 3 notes of the song without dropping notes. ?? Receptor has rebooted on it's own several times this morning. Reboots to blank multi. I reiterate -IT has been playing the same song/voices/settings for the entire project.

I plan to max out the memory. Another gig I suppose. I was certain I saw the specifications for memory about a week or so ago but I cannot find them. Anyone know if this will work ?
