Goliath Developer Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137850-leopard-keeps-crashing-help-needed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath Developer Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137850-leopard-keeps-crashing-help-needed/#findComment-978598 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Developer Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137850-leopard-keeps-crashing-help-needed/#findComment-978654 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Developer Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137850-leopard-keeps-crashing-help-needed/#findComment-979153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
