delite Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hello, so my 10.6.6. build is having kernel panic attacks and i have no idea what is causing them. Basically it went down like this. Worked flawlessly then all of a sudden gray restart screen aka kernel panic. 1. Had trouble getting in the bios after that - managed to enter, flashed bios to latest version (from F8 to F10b) 2. Can go into the system but uptime only lasts for 3-15 mins or so. 3. Backtrack linux live boot hangs too after about an hour or so. Well it does not really hang, if i kill console and start a new window it's working. 4. I have replaced PSU with a brand new one. No improvements. 5. 8800 GT (point of view) feels hot to the touch. Backtrack lm-sensors reported 67 celsius. 6. How to tell if its mobo or cpu causing the problem? Which component is more likely to be blamed? How do i confirm/refute mobo or cpu (if one of them is the cause)? I am pretty positive the problem is of a hardware nature, otherwise backtrack linux and hackintosh wouldn't have hung on me. Any new idea/input/tip is much appreciated. Please help, i am so much in the dark here ...
