Maybe you need to re-install the OSX back and experiment which KEXT kills your install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellover Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I did that a couple of times with different settings and customizations, from no customization (@ the install screen) to only essentials. I think something in the tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update is causing this, i will try without it. Thanks for the reply and i anyone else got any idea i'm all eyes.

If you are using the tonymac [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] method, have you downloaded a DSDT.aml from the database? If you find one that matches your system exactly, that will prevent some potential problems. There are a lot of possible causes for your problem, and I think that a graphics reason is toward the top of the list, if you've followed the basic steps starting with Bios. I remember having to remove the NVenabler kext whereas other people may need it. http://www.tonymacx86.com/wiki/index.php/G...s_Card_Database Is this your card, it is the only 450 I found and Nvidia update is required.

There are some suggestions. I'm not sure your card uses the exact same drivers from 10.6.5 to 10.6.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellover Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for support. I dont have problems with the installation or resolution, the installation has gone very well and i have full resolution+acceleration. When i use the OS X from time to time random it freezes and i have to restart. I skipped that step with the DSDT...can that be the problem behind mi system freeze? Beside the random freeze, everything as far is running like well oiled machine. Gainwards GTS450 512 DDR5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 i had that problem before, and i re-installed OSX but this time, vanilla with minimal kext and not using GraphicsEnabler=Yes flag. No extra folder either and hasn't frozen ever since... maybe your problem is entirely different but that's what i did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i have read NVEnabler is for Nvidia's older cards, maybe it conflicts with tonymacx86 NVIDIA Update or maybe the update is not stable enough. I had tried with and without GraphicsEnabler and without boot istalled at all( booting from DVD).The DSDT still not clear enough what it dose an if i need to mess with it and vanilla beside the flavor i don't know what it means. I am very new at OS X. Thanks again for helping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
