citta.ventosa Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ok so, I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem. I'm getting screen freezes while working for any length of time in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Ableton Live, or while checking System Profiler. It happens when resizing an image or recording audio into my firewire device and rendering the waveforms. I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with screen freezing due to an unsupported graphics card with no QE/CI? Is there a system log I should be using to confirm that this is in fact the problem? Are there any fixes for this? This basically renders my osx86 install useless for anything but internet surfing, basic word processing etc for me. I'm considering selling the 9600GT and getting a 8800GT or possibly a 9800GTX to see if this will solve the problem. I'll continue to search the forums, but if anyone has any specific ideas, or can point me to an existing thream, I'd really appreciate it.
