Ordaz Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 So I successfully installed 10.8.2 using a USB flash then upgrading to 10.8.2 using combo update. It works perfectly except for this one problem : It freezes without cpus=1! It works fine for like, one minute then everything stops moving. Mouse, keyboard, moving items on the screen.. If I boot with cpus=1 everything works fine. Even played some games with it. I looked up the DSDT fix which includes removing aliases from the CPU section, the DSDT did not even have them. What's the way of fixing the thing? My computer's specs: Core i7-3770/GA-H77-DS3H/4GB RAM/EVGA GTX 660Ti Ideas? :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283044-cpus1-or-computer-freezes-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Some wifi cards will cause freezes without cpus=1. Any other DSDT patching done or tried manually setting bus ratio?

Ordaz Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 No other DSDT alterations. My Wi-Fi card is TP-Link TL-WN951N that works OOB. Could it be the problem? I tried setting my busratio to 34 and 39 (Turbo Mode) and it still freezes up.

Ordaz Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Problem (sort of) solved: I had to delete AirPortAtheros40.kext plugin from IO80211Family.kext and use an Ethernet connection. Turns out that the WN951N is supported only by Dual-Core CPUs and will freeze up higher-end ones. I couldn't find an immediate solution. :/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283044-cpus1-or-computer-freezes-up/#findComment-1855480 Share on other sites More sharing options...
