zulov Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Has anyone else encountered this problem? I have a pretty typical hackintosh setup. FCS 2 runs fine, the only problem is that FCP will crash while rendering - the hard crash that throws up a gray screen and tells you to hard reboot. This happens while trying to just render clips for playback and while exporting a quicktime movie. Compressor seems to render fine without crashing. Any thoughts? Anyone else seen this? Do you think its codec specific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think its codec specific? I have the exact same problem and it's driving me nuts. Since my Leo install is on a PATA drive, I've tried disabling AppleNForceATA.kext, so I don't think that's the culprit. I don't get the kernel panic screen, just a completely frozen system ~30% through Export to Quicktime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan PI Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I was having Kernel Panics and/or program crashes during the following processes: iDVD 08, while saving as disk image. The error would occur near the end of the "multiplexing" stage QT, while exporting Movie to ipod video I don't remember if FCP was crashing as well since I don't use it all that much. My Hackintosh had 4Gb of 800mhz ram and I read somewhere to pull out 1Gb of ram to solve the problem. I did and all issues were resolved when running 3Gb. I have since bumped up to 8Gb (2Gb x 4) and am back to crashing with QT export and iDVD. My next trick will be to replace one of the 2Gb sticks with a 1Gb, leaving 7Gb. If that doesn't fix it then maybe I'll drop back down to 3Gb. Frankly, for what I am doing, I didn't notice much of a performance difference running 8Bg, especially if it takes a {censored} with more ram installed.

jonokti Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 maybe your ram is bad since changing the amount seem to fix it, try memtest 86 and check the ram it's a bootable CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
