st3r86 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hello everyone! A total n00b here, but a determined n00b that really wants my hackintosh to finally work! I've finally been able to install iPC 10.5.6 in my Dell Vostro 220s (no drivers aside from StageXNUKernel). Install went fairly smooth, and I am able to get to the desktop (after a 5 minute boot up). However, after getting to the desktop, it freezes up every 5-10 minutes. Is there any way to fix this? Here are my computer's details: Dell Vostro 220s CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core e2200 Motherboard: OEM G45M03 RAM: 4GB Video: MSI N9600GT SATA HDD and SATA DVD Drive The only thing I notice is that Spotlight is running in the background, and gets to about 2-3% by the time the whole thing freezes. A coincidence in timing? I have no idea. I'd appreciate any help I could get. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3r86 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well, I added my hard drive to the Spotlight Privacy section to stop it from indexing. It did stop Spotlight. But still froze again, around the same time, 5-10 minutes after start up. So it wasn't Spotlight I guess. Next I'm thinking its a video thing. Perhaps I should actually install a video driver for my MSI GeForce N9600GT? I didn't install one upon installing iPC 10.5.6. Couldn't hurt probably. So here is the big question: How exactly do I install a video driver??? And what driver would this be? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
