Network and Gray Screen of Death problems...

[macindude]

Hi everyone! (sorry, this is a repeat from the forum a level up, hoping for more action here )

 

I just now have my first successful OSX86 install.... or at least it boots.

I'm having trouble with random "Grey Screens of Death," often (but not always) this occurs when I am accessing the network with the finder or using Safari.

 

What should I do to start tracking the trouble down? I'm sure there has to be some sort of log to help, but I don't know what to look for.

 

I'm also having intermittent trouble with the computer seeing the network. Usually when I boot the system the network appears to work fine. I can access the internet, and the other machines on my LAN, but usually after about 5 or 10 minutes of use, it just stops working... The computer won't see other machines (if I'm connected to one, it'll say "connection to server xxxxx was interrupted" or something like that) and the internet no longer works.

 

I have the following system:

 

Dell Optiplex GX270

Intel P4 3.0ghz HT

2 x 512MB Kingston PC3200 (Dual Channel)

built in Intel Gigabit Ethernet

ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB AGP

Mac OSX 10.5.1 (iATKOS v1.0ir2)

 

 

Thanks,

Nick
