Hello.

I have a freeze problem with my hackintosh. I installed retail 10.5.4 using this guide http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86167

Then updated to 10.5.6.

 

I have core2duo e8400, GA-EP35-DS3P motherboard, 8Gb RAM, 9800GTX video (installed with efi strings).

 

Now some times my system locks up completely. Mouse, keyboard, video stop working. It happens during looking flash rich sites or 3d games (like HoMM5). It happens on gametrailers.com (if video is in flash), 2advanced.com, but not on youtube.com (even if I watch HD video).

In games I can play for 2 minutes or 30 minutes. Time always differs.

 

Freezes look like the ones from overheating, but after computer restart I see in BIOS 40-45C, so CPU is not that hot. Northbridge, video card arent hot as well.

 

What can it be???

And I have PSU 420w. May be its too weak?

E8400, 9800GT, 4HDD

 

your power consumation is approx 377watts, if it is your psu then your system should be crashing on every intensive task

 

does your system mostly crashes on graphics intense situations?
