FakeSteez Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 SOLVED! My problem was thermal related. My crummy thermal paste dried out, so when I would go play flash videos, my system would basically just overheat. And on top of that, one of my clamps on my heatsink broke and was out of alignment, probably from one of my kicks. Replaced the paste, realigned the fan. All gravy. 10.6.5. Chameleon RC5 Ethernet kext. I noticed when I watch youtube videos, or any videos for that matter, my computer will just... shut off. Instantly, no warning. No kernel panics, no nothing. Just boom, off. I recently began getting lots of kernel panics so I did a backup and wiped my drive, starting from scratch. Also, note that I am overclocking my Q6600 from 2.4ghz > 2.67ghz, but I have been 100% stable at 3.00Ghz in 10.6.4, w/ chameleon RC4 (before the wipe). Ideas?
