Afronova Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I recently got my system up and running with 10.6.8 and now it'll kernel panic every 10 or so minutes. Sometimes it'll just lock up, sometimes it'll display the "Hold the power button to turn off etc etc" It's only started doing it after I installed the official nVidia drivers, though. Could that be the problem? My system: Gigabyte EP43-DS3L GTX 460 Q6600 8 GB DDR2 Any help would be appreciated.

Afronova Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 After a bit of reading I saw that the 460 has an issue with it going into power save mode. I tried the workaround suggested (Running itunes visualiser) But again, after about 10 minutes, KP. Not so sure where my problem lies now.

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 iTunes visualizer never worked for me (GTX 460). Try tunning VLC, looping a video clip. You can run it hidden, in the background. Or you can try this, this is what I use: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1707711 For more info, read the Fermi Freeze thread: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=247692 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/269731-random-kernel-panic-while-in-use/#findComment-1757086 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afronova Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Well, I booted verbose just now and the resulting KP displayed this: http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_05711.JPG Is it the 460 causing it? Or something else? (I'll try the VLC thing, thanks.)

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 IOATABlockstorage has to do with your DVD drive, nothing to do with your video card.

Afronova Posted October 7, 2011 Author Share Posted October 7, 2011 Weird... I've not really touched the DVD drive. If anyone else can shed light on that, it'd be nice. Thanks for the link to the fix you use for the freezing, I was still getting that also Just had another KP, this time reporting more problems: http://filesmelt.com/dl/IMG_05721.JPG Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/269731-random-kernel-panic-while-in-use/#findComment-1757099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Same issue but this time clearly pointing to the JMicronATA driver. Try a different one, or better yet, don't use the JMicron controller on your motherboard. Connect everything to the Intel ICHx.

Afronova Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Removing the IDE drive fixed it. Thanks! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/269731-random-kernel-panic-while-in-use/#findComment-1757519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
