dannymichel Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Not sure how to explain it, but this has never happened to me before. I'm crashing every now and then. I get no error messages or anything. The operating system just freezes and I cant even move the mouse. It's in a frozen state.Any way I can figure out what's going on?

Hackmodford Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sure it's not a bad mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abcdefghijklmnop12345 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, the operating system crashes and freezes. I'm getting a similar problem I think. How frequently do you experience the crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackmodford Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I would remove every unnecessary hardware item. Basically only keyboard/mouse/monitor Remove all extra SSD/HDDs Remove your graphics card and try onboard graphics. Then run the computer and see what happens. If it still does it try swapping the ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannymichel Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Happens maybe once every 6 hours or so. Any way to diagnose the problem from logs or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesMan Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just throwing this out there. If you boot with -V does it say something about Unsynchronized tsc? If it does after a while of using osx your processor will cause the computer to lock up exactly how you described. To fix that all you need is voodootscsync.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
