Starting Spotify crashes whole system (Mac OS X 10.10)

Starting Spotify crashes whole system (Mac OS X 10.10)

Hi there,

 

It already happened twice, and both times I think it somehow related to dual-monitor setup I have.

 

Sometimes I use my secondary monitor and drop there Spotify window. Then I quit Spotify (and I suppose it remembers somehow where the wondow was left before quitting). And sometimes I just don't use my secondary monitor, so I plug it out from mac port. And next time I restart in single-monitor setup, and try to open Spotify, it opens (black window with partial content in it), and then brutally crashes whole my system - it just goes black-screen and rebooting.

 

I'm not really sure that dual/single-monitor setup is related to this crash, but it already happened twice and both times when I started Spotify.

 

I have crash report of OS X from most recent crash, and I'd like to provide it to your developer's team to dig around it a litle. Because you know, I pay money for Premium and it's kinda annoying when music player killing whole system.

 

Sys info

 

OS X 10.10.5 (14F1605)

Mac Pro (Early 2008)

16 GB RAM, ssd hd, no bottlenecks here.

 

Spotify v 1.0.23.90.g42187855

 

How could I provide you that crash report and what is the fix of this problem?

 

Regards, Denis.
