PS CC 2017 and Camera RAW both updated two days ago. Opening a RAW file causes my Mac Pro (Early 2008) to freeze up, requiring a cold reboot. This happens with new NEF files and years-old RAF files, so I assume the problem is not in the RAW file. I have reset PS Preferences to factory defaults to no avail. Any thoughts?
Thanks.
David

After screwing around with this problem, I've lost patience and thrown in the towel. I'm going with a Zamzar.com subscription for $6.75/month. Since I am a fine art photographer and not in a high pressure/high volume environment, the more deliberate process offered at Zamzar makes eminently good sense. That's one less set of PS idiosyncrasies to deal with.

I too have this problem and it infuriating
My IMAC early 2008 is configured:
OS X El Capitan ver 10.11.6
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 6GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
Fortunately I CAN use ON1 to edit my RAW files but prefer using Adobe Camera RAW and Photoshop CC
Really looking forward to Adobe fixing this problem or coming up with a way to re-install a previous working version of Adobe Camera RAW until they can address the problem and fix it !

"Same Freeze-Up Problem" happening during a tight photo deadline! Ugh!
Problem start after updating to Photoshop CC 2017 via the Creative Cloud App.
Luckily I still have Adobe PSD CS6 to bypass the problem for now. However, The CC App. will not update the PSD CS6 - it will download 100% but "No Cigar"
The remedy prescribed: “Rename the 1.0 folder (for example, to 1.0.old). Then reinstall the update.” - Which didn’t help and just made a mess of doing anything in Photoshop - so I restored the AAMUpdater to original settings.
I don’t know if this has anything to do with PSD CC2017 freezing up my computer, or am I chasing the wrong rabbit.
The has been happening to many people for owe a week know. I wish Adobe would release a patch or something so I can get on with my workflow so I oblige my deadline.
Thank You

Same problem on an Early 2008 Mac Pro running Mmac OS 10.11.6, which i have seemed to solve by opening Bridge, select "Camera Raw Preferences...", then under "Performance" DESELECT "Use Graphics Processor"

richardlinton,
Thank you sooooo much! I have been stuck in suspended animation for the pas week. You are a lifesaver.
If I may inquire: How does the use of the Graphics Processor freeze up Camera Raw?

Thanks again for the correct fix.
