Herdnerfer Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hello All, Just looking for some advice on my hackintosh. I got everything installed and everything seems to be working fine. i can make movies in iMovies, play graphically intense games via steam, surf the internet, etc. But the problem i am having is it keeps crashing at random times for seemingly unknown reasons. Just all of a sudden i get the Grey box that tells me to reset my computer. The Error logs don't seem to show any info specific to the crash once i load it back up. Its happened in the middle of playing a game, it happened while i was exporting a video from iMovie, and it has happened while watching Netflix with both Google Chrome & Firefox. If anyone has any ideas on what i can do, i would appreciate it. Please let me know what more detailed info you would need. Below are my specs. Asus P5G41T-M LX Intel Quad Core Q8200 4gb DDR3-800 ram Nvidia Geforce 8600gt w/ dual monitors WD 250gb main drive HFS+ SATA WD 640gb NTFS drive for windows SATA Hitachi 1tb NTFS storage drive SATA onboard sound disabled onboard video controller SATA DVD-RW Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/253841-random-crashing-new-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you do a retail install? Kernel panics are had to figure out unless we have some kind of log, or else it's hard to figure out the problem. You're hardware info right now is useless, since we haven't figured out the problem which would connect to the hardware.

The Error logs don't seem to show any info specific to the crash once i load it back up. If you boot with -v the kernel panic will show more information. Boot with -v and when it crashes take a photo of it and attach it here. Tips: Use the full editor to attach images. And for the love of all that is holy, turn off the camera flash and use an indirect light source.
