PT HD 7.4
Mac g5

Upon trying to bounce a tune from a session on my external lacie 500gb firewire 400, the song begins to bounce, then a get the spinning wheel of death(mac) and protools immediately quits. Upon reopening of protools, the whole computer freezes.
Tried a number of different solutions..
Copied session from drive to Desktop and tried bouncing
Bounced to a different location (back to the drive, desktop, another drive)
Change buffer size,etc in PT
Naming it differently (no parenthesis, -, etc)
dither on/off
converting After/during bounce
Converting tweak head, good, better, best

Can't figure this one out!
Does it sound like a PT problem or a hard drive problem?
This happens to several sessions. all being brand new tunes.

stumped.
what do you think?

thanks in advance,

Do you get a dump file when PT crashes? Which thread is actually crashing? Have you gone through the trashing of the preferences and trying again?
 
I'd reinstall Pro Tools... after trying to trash prefs etc.
