Tell us the numbers stamped on the sprocket and bar and the umbers printed on the box the chain was in.

Check to see if the chain is the right pitch, ie: .325 or 3/8. Sounds like the chain is getting tossed up and over the guide end of the bar.

I've had a Husqvarna 450e for 13 years and never a problem, and it cut a lot of wood, until last year when it started to throw the chain. I received great advice from Scuba and Allan Minear, but I never found the solution, so I bought another 450 which runs fine. The old saw still has a great motor so I changed the clutch/sprocket and a new Oregon bar and a new chain. Today I cut wood with it or 15 minutes and the chain skipped again. I'm happy to use the new saw, but can't understand why the old saw won't work with a new bar, sprocket and chain.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pete Could the chain be losing tension as it heats up?? Maybe it is a problem with the tensioner

"I'm sure that the chain is right for the bar and the pitch is right." The drive sprocket needs to match also. Just sayin.

I didn't think that would matter but glad you won. Thanks for checking back, it's one way we all learn.
