kthnx Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hello chaps, Within a few minutes of entering the OS the cursor stops moving and the entire system seems to lock up. It was happening during the install process too... is there an event log or something I can check for errors? System specs attached - the only connected peripherals are monitor, my wireless logitech mouse and a cabled usb keyboard.

kthnx Posted May 10, 2010 Author Share Posted May 10, 2010 Just for troubleshooting purposes - could you use a wired USB mouse? I ordered one but it won't be here til tomorrow. Do you think this could be it? I was suspicious it could be related, that's why I included it in the OP. I can't remember the model of the mouse off the top of my head but it's supposed to be crazy high-featured, at the time it was advertised as "the world's most advanced mouse". Will update tomorrow or if anyone has any other ideas I can try in the meantime Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/217983-random-freezing/#findComment-1465381 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If you have PATA devices and are using older drivers, this might be the problem: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=127611 You can test it by booting with maxmem=2048, or disabling all PATA devices in the BIOS. If it stops crashing then that's the issue. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/217983-random-freezing/#findComment-1465764 Share on other sites More sharing options...
