Hiya people

 

ive been using different versions of mac osx86 on my hp dv8333ea spec below they range from jas 10.5.1 to what i have now IDeneb 10.5.5 ive had the same problem on all versions (apart from kalyways 10.5.3 update for someweird reason but i needed to update the software to use a new program) , if i leave the laptop just running for maybe 20 mins the grey screen appears and freezes see below for more details

 

Processor: Intel Core Duo T2300E / 1.66 GHz

Ram: 2gb ddr2 667mhz

Hard drive: 500gb sata 7200rpm

Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 PCI Express, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 Video Memory: 256 MB

Wireless: linsys wusb54gc which works perfectly

Wireless 2: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG which only the bluetooth works as the driver is still being developed by

 

The Problem:

ill be using the computer just fine but if i leave it for maybe 20mins could be 2 hours the grey screen of death is on it will be fine if im constantly using it but it keeps doing the freezing/ crashing thing with the grey screen i thought maybe its the graphics so ive tryed different graphics drivers the NVinject 0.2.1 works the best it maybe stays on for a hour before freezing and then i thought it was the power plan changed it still not working so ive ran out of ideas if anybody can help i would appreacheate it

Hiya no im still working on it i changed the graphics driver but now its saying the NVinject is not installed properly im still trying to work it out but my thoery is its defiantly the graphics as when my display goes to sleep it can keep on running as my wireless adapter keeps flashing and my sound works so i can keep adjusting the volume but i cant wake the display up and the vga out put doesnt work either, ooo another thing i tryed was putting it in safe mode it does nothing just runs slower and crash's just as fast im totally stumped may need a third party i may have a look at all the kexts and see what i can find out its probually just one line of code ill keep you guys updated

right i might have a solution but you need to test it aswell

1. boot in safe mode thats -x in the boot options

2. wait for it to load then go to finder system / library / extentions / then you need to delete NVinject or if you are using a different one then delete the kext

3. go to http://nvinject.free.fr/downloads.php and like my graphics card is nvidia geforce go 7600 i used NVinjectGo.0.2.0_installer.zip and so far so good for me give it a go i just had the usual nvinject install not the nvinjectgo no errors nothing will keep you updated

Hiya guys well that seems to have done the trick for now for me atleast worked perfectly for 5 hours but im gonna work on the kexts as when the screen saver kicks in it doesnt want to wake up from it may also look at the dual output so you can connect another monitor any other problems with this specific hp model ill have a look into it for you
