Ordaz Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 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? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Some wifi cards will cause freezes without cpus=1. Any other DSDT patching done or tried manually setting bus ratio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordaz Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 No other DSDT alterations. My Wi-Fi card is TP-Link TL-WN951N that works OOB. Could it be the problem? I tried setting my busratio to 34 and 39 (Turbo Mode) and it still freezes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordaz Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 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. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
