omegaci Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I installed 10.5.6 absent mindedly and it bricked my gigabyte 945gcm-s2c. Fortunately, I made a back up before upgrading. unfortunately it was a time machine backup. Still, I restored from TM and then fixed some broken kexts like for video. Then I used pcwiz tools for the 10.5.6 update and everything seemed to work fine for a few hours. Pretty soon I was getting kernel panics and whenever I shutdown the machien would start back up, sometimes immediately sometimes after a few minutes? the worst thing is a) when I pulled up disk utility my 500GB seagate was reporting failure with the warning "if this drive hasn't failed, back up now". and my intel 8400 which had been correctly reporting 3.0GHz is now reporting 2.4 GHZ. any ideas.

Houbos Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 and my intel 8400 which had been correctly reporting 3.0GHz is now reporting 2.4 GHZ. No, it can`t. Problem with processor is BIOS related. If you had a overclocked CPU, some stupid hardware-protecting feature reseted all BIOS settings to default (random feature on these cheap Gigabyte boards). In BIOS, press CTRL+F1. Option to hange FSB etc. (overclocking) is first in the right collumn. But... my questions is: You have functional 10.5.6 on that motherboard? I am stucked on 10.5.2. :censored2: Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141510-could-1056-make-hd-report-failure/#findComment-1051549 Share on other sites More sharing options...
