jordanvanbergen Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hi All, I never had the problem with 10.4.3 but as of 10.4.4 and 10.4.5 my Acer Aspire 1522 WMLi laptop will become overheated after a minute or two and the notebook will shut down itself. It's really frying hot after the shutdown. I have to wait for 10 minutes to boot the machine again. After this it works again (windows) thank god. But everytime I start mac osx 10.4.4 or higher I have this problem. So I'm no longer able to use this laptop as an OSX86 machine if this overheating issue isn't solved. I looked and tried tons of things. When it starts you will see the mouse pointer go away, you will here a funny noise from the HD and after this you can't do anything for a second or 2 than the mouse pointer is back and you can work again for let's say 10 seconds. After this the same will happen and it will happen sooner and sooner and I'm starting to smell my notebook to become overheated at this moment. Shortly after this it will shutdown itself. Anyone an idea or the same problem(s)? Any help much appreciated!

jordanvanbergen Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Maybe this is apple's new anti piracy measure. I don't hope so.... could it be because of a IDE / VIA chipset extension? I wasn't able to use my mouse (USB) and using an old 10.4.3 extension this was fixed. Could it be that my system is becoming overheated because of the way the harddrive is used? How hotter it gets the more HD noise sounds you hear.... so maybe it's because of the way the HD extension is talking to the system? What extensions control the HD? Should I try from the 10.4.3 the following extensions: AppleACPIPlatform.kext AppleVIA.kext AppleVIAATA.kext IOACPIFamily.kext IOATAFamily.kext IOStorageFamily.kext Anyone a suggestion which one I should try or another way to try to get my notebook cool off again and work with 10.4.4 or higher?

Hi Jordan, Perhaps our Scottish moderator's wry humor didn't come through: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-in-cheekI think he is suggesting that it may be better to buy a Macbook than to risk damaging your laptop. Power management is quite hardware specific and not too many non-Mac laptops runs well (hell, even the Macbook has problems).

jordanvanbergen Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 ;-) LOL I love this kind of humor ;-) but me being ignorant want to make it work for me even if I screw up my notebook ;-) LOL So I didn't see this as a humor reply first but it looks like it is. I had a good laugh over it ;-) Now let's return to see if I get it working even if I'm going to fry my laptop....... hope it won't.
