emotional friend Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm running iDeneb 10.5.5. All features work. Quartz Extreme, USB, Audio, etc. Abit IP35 Pro mobo / Q6600 processor / 2gb ram After running it for a few days, something happens and I get programs hanging with a spinning wheel. VLC just did it where I could open an avi file, but only audio would play and then I'd get a spinning wheel while the audio plays. Application became unresponsive. Other operations like .dmg mounting or time machine also get hung up indefinitely. I deleted the Extensions.mkext and rebooted, but -f would not get system to reboot successfully. Without -f it rebooted fine. I have 'put hard drive to sleep' disabled in system prefs / energy saver. No IDE drives attached. Everything SATA. Hardware Overview: Model Name: Mac Model Identifier: MacPro3,1 Processor Name: Intel® Core2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ Processor Speed: 2.45 GHz Total Number Of Cores: 4 L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL VMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM Memory: 2 GB Bus Speed: 1.09 GHz Boot ROM Version: BOOT.88Z.EFI.V80.061193037 (Phoenix Technologies, LTD) Serial Number: CK157KMHK5B Any ideas?
