ludacrisvp Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hello. I have been having some random issues with my Leopard installation. None of the issues I have been experiencing were present in my Tiger install. Ok here we go: I have noticed after running Firefox and iTunes for an extended period of time (an hour maybe) my screen background will flash everytime the background image changes ( I have it set to change randomly every 5 seconds) so I notice it right away when it starts. Once the screen flashes start I notice that my mouse will jump all around the screen when I barely move it (I think this is referred to as mouse tearing?) Usually within a few minutes from that point the system will lock up. No dimmed screen saying to restart just a hard lockup with no response from any input or output (music from iTunes will cease at that time as well) Oh I have also reinstalled using MBR EFI instead of GUID EFI hoping that by some chance that may help. I have replaced the AppleSMBIOS.kext file with one from macdotnub.info with one coded for my ram DDR2-667 I thought it helped but it would appear that it did not. I have latest version of iTunes downloaded from apple.com not through software update. The issue was present before getting the new version of iTunes. I have tried using Marvins AMD utility however it just gives errors. No updates have been applied using Software Updater. I can provide any other relevant info if needed. Would using pc_EFIv8 be causing the issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
