Random freezes

Hi all,

 

I got my system working yesterday, after installing ML, and patching a DSDT for my mb (click).

The problem is that my system randomly hangs/freezes, and the only thing I can do is restarting with the button on case. 

 

Now I noticed that usually it happens when I go in finder and try to see what's in my hdd "OSX": it loads for a while and then freeze. No KP, nothing, only freeze.

 

I deleted NullCPUPowerManagement.kext, and the only Kext I have is Fake...

 

SMbios edited and Chameleon Installed.

 

Thank You,

Stefano

I have a firewire card and a USB 3.0 card installed and I'm getting similar issues. Last night it started to lock up and then suddenly opened up the HD when I double clicked it. Previous 3 nights I've had to reboot to resolve it. If it happens again I'll post up what card is causing it. Dear god please don't let it be my 3.0 card...

Event:           hang

                                        1  change_capacity + 59 (CoreGraphics) [0x7fff91d52d43]

       *36 IOAHCIDiskQueueManager::ChangePowerState(__SATAIORequest*) + 432 (IOAHCIBlockStorage) [0xffffff7f80bb4698]

         *36 IOAHCIBlockStorageDriver::ChangePowerState(__SATAIORequest*, unsigned int) + 672 (IOAHCIBlockStorage) [0xffffff7f80bb7aec]

 

Can someone familiar with system log Diagnostic reports tell me what this means? This is the only event with "hang" before it I could find after my Finder crashed the last time. Not really sure what it's saying here. also, should I check the report for another keyword besides hang?

I think I'd better know your specs before trying to help

What he said. Also don't just look for keywords necessarily... I usually try to check the very last message. As for the one you posted, I have a hunch it may have something to do with the "put hard disks to sleep when possible" option in energy saver prefs. Of course, you should be able to have that option checked without causing any crashes.

Sure! It's a Gigabyte Mobo model GA-EP45T-UD3LR, 8 gigs ram, ATI Radeon HD 5000 1024 MB graphics. Several hard drives including a Solid State 60 GB drive primarily for the System, a 1TB HD for movies, 2 TB for backup and a 320 GB for Windows 7. Let me know if you need any other info!

Thanks for the input. I think I figured out the problem. I updated iStat menus and haven't had the issues since. Everything somehow feels faster so it looks like something in that program was causing the problems, not really sure how though... unless the software monitoring the HDs was conflicting with them actually working properly.
