Premiere Pro CS6 unexpectedly quits whilst opening windows

Question

Oh wise ones!
I am having trouble with a premiere project, it is a simple logging project with about 100 video files that has worked previously on an edit share based raid system, but today has decided it will not open & will not re-link media files without crashing.
What version of PP? 6.0.0
Have you installed the recent updates? No (cannot update software without administrators permission atm)
What operating system? 10.8.4 OSX
What kind(s) of source footage? Apple Pro res LT .MOV files
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? See below!
What were you doing when the problem occurred? trying to re-link media files that were offline due to changing computer locations on edit share.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? The project file used to work, however a collegue opened the file at a different location on the edit share, which for some reason has un-linked the media and not the file won't open.
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? Yes, Version 10.1 (501.29)
What other software are you running? I have BRU PE running & proxymill and firefox.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Video co-pilot & twixtor

Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? edit share
I have attached the end of one of the crash logs and an error message. Could it be the DDR2 problem? At the moment I cannot restart as the LTO tape is backing up!

Answer 1

The inability to fully launch is often related to the video driver. I would go to AMD/ATI and check your installed video driver. If not the latest, then download and install that. Note: there have been some issues reported with some of AMD/ATI's latest drivers (mostly in the PS CS6 forum), so it might be necessary to roll-back to an earlier video driver.
If that is not the cause, in your case, then you have at least ruled out one of the main causes.
Good luck,
Hunt
