help with random lockups

[etikette]

First a big thank you to you guys.

With the help of this forum i managed to get osx installed on a rather problematic system

 

System:

AMD64 3500+

Nforce4 chipset

OnBoard Sound

2x SATA HD

Geforce 6800 PCIE

OSX: 10.4.6.JaS Install + PPF1 Patches

 

Most of the time my setup runs just fine but there are a few issues i still have:

 

1) After listening to a few mp3's the system hangs (doesn't mather which media player i use)

2) Sometimes i get an Disk Read/Write Error when saving files (file size doesn't matter)

3) Disk permissions get f***ed up sometimes and i have to run "diskutil repairPermissions /dev/blabla)

 

1) and 2) are real showstoppers for me and i would be really glad if someone could help me with these because i really like to work with osx

This could be your cpu overheating,remove your heatsink.clean the thermal paste from the cpu and heatsink and apply a new ,very small amount of thermal paste to the center of the heatshink and then re attach it.

Also, check your RAM

thanks for you answers.

 

i dont' think it is the hardware.

Linux/Windows and BSD run just fine (hehe i'm "quad-booting" here).

 

Forgot to say that osx doesn't hang completly, i can still move the mouse.

 

@JaS: Thanks for your nice osx86 releases

In looking at your specs again, I see you have nForce4 and SATA. I have read about many data corruption issues in OSX with this combination. See if you can add an ATA drive for OSX.
