Hi fellows!
I've been editing for 4 hours ¡n a row on a G5 with FCP 5.1.4, the program closes abruptly and it starts thinking for a long time. Then my external Lacie HDD starts making a very strange "clock" sound. I restarted and it's still very slow, and thinks too much...It think it may be a RAM memory problem due to the big number of quicktimes files on my desktop,...otherwise Im pretty scared...please help!!!
 
A hard drive making that sound is likely trying to fail. Got another hard drive you can move all your data to?

To test this, disconnect the Lacie and try running FCP. If it works fine then it's the drive, not a RAM issue.
