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 :lol: my intel 8400 which had been correctly reporting 3.0GHz is now reporting 2.4 GHZ.

 

any ideas.

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:

might not be related but is your hard drive one of these?
