Mac Mini (2012) Crashing?

[saedrin]

Hey guys. I'm not an Apple guru, however my boss made the executive decision to replace the functional windows machines our graphics designers use with a brand new iMac (which is fine) and a brand new Mac Mini (which isn't).

It seems whenever he opens any sort of production file and edits it for 5-10 minutes, photoshop will just crash the application or lock up the machine completely..

Ideas?

How's your RAM usage with the file open?

Yeah, sounds Photoshop is consuming enough system resources for OSX to quit the application. Confirm with activity monitor.

System specs and +1 to memory usage of Photoshop.
