gyasih Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hello All- great work on all the distro's. My system is running somewhat smoothly,. I have just one issue-it randomly shuts down after a few minutes or during program installations and file transfers. Anyone have any ideas on where to start looking? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You should put your CPU make and model in your signature too. Try the new StageXNU kernel for better compatibility (well that's my personal experience, YMMV) http://leo4all.uni.cc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=532 Don't forget to grab the matching system.kext too. Use PCWiz OSX86Tools to install both: http://######.com/osx86tools/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyasih Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Updating Kernel didn't work. I want to keep all four core, so I am reluctant to do Cpus=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Check your BIOS settings: http://apple2pc.blogspot.com/2008/03/bios-...hackintosh.html If your motherboard has Intel ICHx drive controller, try this kernel extension: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=88335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerkex'd Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Can you try booting with CPUS=1 and try to provoke the crash? It will be helpful to know if it stops crashing with CPUS=1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyasih Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 I'll try it tonight and post-thanks again. Update-with CPUS=1 the system seems to work, but i don't want my quad working as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyasih Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nope crashed again-it fooled me. It took longer to crash, don't know if Firefox did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsweeting Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 How much RAM do you have? Are you using the JMicron.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyasih Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 How much RAM do you have? Are you using the JMicron.kext? I am using 4GB, but it was crashing when I had only 2GB in the System. No, I deleted JMicron.Kext. My system is all Sata and IDE is disabled in my Bios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
