Hi Stephan, You probably know how to tackle the consequences of the lockups using the rescue system but, if not, feel free to ask (please describe your hardware, too.) I'm curious to know if it's experienced any similar lockups while running other memory and/or disk IO intensive applications? Examples that come to mind might be AV recording/editing or multimedia production or CAD? Have you otherwise stress-tested and ruled out marginal hardware? When you installed 10.1, did you do so on one or more *clean* partitions (i.e. all contents pre-erased with the installer allowed to format it/them before installing?) Was this a 'fresh' installation or did you upgrade a previous version? regards, Carl
