vani Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Looks like the Nvidia GPU shutdown issue can be fixed in the DSDT. On an Asrock ConRoe 1333 DVI/H 2.0 with a GeForce 8400GS sleep did not work. But a DSDT patched with koalala's DSDT patcher did solve the shutdown issue for this machine! You might need to play a bit with koalala's DSDT patcher. (I don't know why, but I needed NVkush in addition to get dualscreen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wakasaki Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I'm using a 9800GT 512, my system has been up and running for over a year now and seems to run osx better than it runs Vista. But the two problems I am yet to solve are... >Only 1 output and no inputs on built-in audio. >System Restarts every time successfully, but randomly decides to restart on shutdown. Shutdown seems to work fine for a few weeks, then it will randomly restart instead, (which it does atm). My only solution to this is to flick the power switch on the back of the psu before it starts up again, but this causes a very slow startup for some reason, i guess because it hasn't un-loaded properly. I also notice that the system does actually power down for a few seconds before it starts again unlike when i use the restart function. This isn't a major problem as i have lived with it for ages, but it would be nice to fix the final main problem with it, if anyone has had similar problems help would be much appreciated, thanks.
