adrock42 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Well, computer components heat up when they are on, and when they heat up they expand. If you expand and contract a solid it will eventually break in one way or the other. A great answer for Hacks are to use a 80+ rated power supply and a good set of fans. Everything stays cool, it's efficient, and good fans should be quite. Being able to customize the fan regiment in the case was one of my biggest draws to osx86. Also OSX runs some cron jobs in the middle of the night. I think at 2:15 or something like that. You can run these manually with Onyx.

ac3 Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 no kernel panics during shutdown process. it shutdowns the OS completely but not my entire system. im using Abit IP35-E and Q6600.

xevean Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 have you tried doing "sudo halt" from terminal to force shutdown the machine (without the quotes)?

Your PC components could care less for the most part, it's your data that's affected during improper shutdowns. No, you're fine, in this case it's just a matter of the OS not being able to switch off the hardware when it's done with it. Now, it would be different if you were just powering off right from the desktop, this would probably lead to some serious filesystem problems but more than likely no hardware problems.
