DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Got snow leopard installed and updated to 10.6.8 no problems... However, when I drag and drop something, ANYTHING, the finder crashes. The windows disappear then reappear. It's annoying. I figured it was a chipset error, soci deleted everything but nforce drivers, repaired permissions and everything, and it stopped booting. So I reloaded osx, at 10.6.3 it's fine. Updating to 10.6.8, I duplicated the problem. I'm literally ripping my hair out.. Has anyone ever seen this? Seems 10.6.8 is the culprit. Amd Athlon 64 x2 4800+ 4gb ddr2-800 ( 2gb showing to osx) GeForce 9600gso 512mb Nforce 6 series chipset Legacy kernel for 10.6.8 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275735-weird-finder-crash-1068-amd-athlon-64-x2-4800/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodguess Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Is 10.6.8 a "must have" for you? My Athlon 640 runs it fine, but there are issues with other boxes obviously. 10.6.6 seems to be a reasonable solution to me.

DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Only reason is kind of a dumb one. I like being current... Lol. And the new safari requires 10.6.8, doesn't it? If not, I'd be more n happy at 10.6.6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/275735-weird-finder-crash-1068-amd-athlon-64-x2-4800/#findComment-1795005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkMechanicnHacker Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Okay, narrowed it down somewhat... It's a kext. It's now doing it in 10.6.7. Didn't do it until I installed eviliopcifamily.
