So I successfully installed 10.8.2 using a USB flash then upgrading to 10.8.2 using combo update. It works perfectly except for this one problem

:

 

It freezes without cpus=1!

It works fine for like, one minute then everything stops moving. Mouse, keyboard, moving items on the screen.. If I boot with cpus=1 everything works fine. Even played some games with it. I looked up the DSDT fix which includes removing aliases from the CPU section, the DSDT did not even have them. What's the way of fixing the thing?

 

My computer's specs: Core i7-3770/GA-H77-DS3H/4GB RAM/EVGA GTX 660Ti

 

Ideas? :/

Problem (sort of) solved: I had to delete AirPortAtheros40.kext plugin from IO80211Family.kext and use an Ethernet connection. Turns out that the WN951N is supported only by Dual-Core CPUs and will freeze up higher-end ones. I couldn't find an immediate solution. :/
