Annoying Premiere CC crashes

Question

Hi there,
Been having a lot of crashes with Premiere CC. Seems to be triggered when adjusting motion effects, program monitor freezes when updating (preview) then is stuck. I can click around the timeline, save the project etc but not play the sequence or get anything new on the program monitor. The only fix seems to be quiting, reopening Premiere, at which point you get the spinning wheel of death, Force Quit that, reopen again, then open the project. It can then crash straight away if you start where you left off. The has happened across different clips/renders/sequences
System/Project details;
- Premiere CC (inc. Updates)
- Mac OSX 10.8.2
- Footage - Canon 5D Mkii native H264 (mov)
- Trigger - Moving a layer set to blend mode in the motion panel
- Not running any other software
- No 3rd party codecs are installed/in use
- System - iMac 27" 3.4Ghz Intel i7, 16GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2GB
- GPU is enabled
Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

The combination of the exception code and the faulting module lead me to suspect that the graphics driver is involved. Something doesn't match up. From my little bit of research, 13.251.0.0 is rolled into Catalyst Software Suite 13.12, which was released on 12/18. You report the driver date as 12/6. Could just be that the driver has an earlier date than the CSS.
Here's a post specific to the exception code: http://compfreakstars.blogspot.com/2011/11/0xc0000005-error-every-day-many.html
