Ritchie Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Well can Mac OS x86 patched version harm your PC hardware in anyway... yesterday I experience a disabling usb protocol on my laptop and I'm 99% sure that osx did it, as a lot of other little things, cause when I boot and gave me the usb boot wake event (echi) everything went back to normal... I have heard that on some G4 machine can rewrite the bios of the hardware or something.. I'm not quite sure.. Well I ask the Knowledge ones to please let us know if there is such an option...

phor2zero Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I was fiddling with the boot options, setting Graphics Mode to a few resolutions and refresh rates. I'm not positive, because my 17"crt was a few years old, but it failed spectacularly the other day. When you're messing with the resolution/refresh rates, you don't have the protections you do in windows to prevent it from attempting combinations your monitor doesn't support. Of course, I'm not going to tell the wife that I "may" have broken the monitor, just said it was old and wore out... Using a nice 19" widescreen LCD now. But I'm not messing with OS X resolutions anymore!
