fumoboy007 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey guys, I'm having a very strange problem…but first, here are my specs: Processor: AMD Athlon X2 4400+ RAM: 2x1GB Samsung DDR2 Storage: nForce 430 + SATA DVD + SATA HDD OS: Chameleon + Snow Leopard 10.6.4 + nawcom's legacy kernel + Marvin's AMD Utility applied to the whole OS On to the problem…From time to time, some of my apps will crash and then after a few minutes, the entire system will freeze. The crash is a divide by zero error (EXC_I386_DIV) and the crashed thread always looks something like this: 0 <<00000000>> 0xffff0329 __gettimeofday + 73 (cpu_capabilities.h:177) 1 libSystem.B.dylib 0x90004edb gettimeofday + 43 2 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x9082e7a6 CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent + 31 Just to reiterate, these crashes happen in many applications like Finder, Safari, Microsoft Messenger, Skype, Mail, and uTorrent so it is not an application-specific crash. Is anyone else getting this problem or can somebody tell me what to do? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom33 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I had similar issue. I managed to solve it by updating to 10.6.4. Remember to patch the "legacy_kernel-10.4.0.pkg" which can be found in this forum immediately right after updating 10.6.4 is done without restart.

fumoboy007 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 No, no..all the files are good. BUT...I think i fixed it! I just had to edit my DSDT to make it look like Snow Leopard was Vista (Windows 2006 hack). But in my case, I had already done that but i found out there was another place in the DSDT that was checking for this so all I did was change that and BOOM...no more crashes or freezes! Thanks for your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
