Madphoto Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hi All, I'm relatively new at all this but this is my second installation of osx on my machine, am using the following: mb: soltek SL-915GPro-FGR processor: P4 3.2HT ram: 1 Gb I installed using "OSx86 10.4.3 8F1111A Patched Jas v4.2b". (in system profiler appears as 8F1111g) In general everything runs well, I have sound, video output is good, connect to ethernet without a hitch and xbench gives me a nice score of 90.77. My problems rest in two major places right now, one more important than the other. 1. The system will restart on its own at any given time, ie I could be watching a movie, listening to music, working on photoshop, downloading, or even when its idle. This restart can happen right after I switch on the machine or 14 hours later, its like it has a mind of its own. 2. Photoshop runs very nicely untill I decide to open a RAW image, it lets me edit it without too much fuss, but when I come to open it in photoshop is crashes photoshop, and its very consistant. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9922-random-restarts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac2pc Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 try to change RAM and verify your system is stable under XP and check your cpu cooler is ok Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/9922-random-restarts/#findComment-63175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
