etikette Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27533-help-with-random-lockups/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaS Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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.

etikette Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/27533-help-with-random-lockups/#findComment-187763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 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.
