first time poster. I have had an issue with restarting since I upgraded using the non combo update to 10.5.8. 10.5.7 was fine however now on most occasions I get a Kernel Panic Error after the OS boots to a Desktop Screen.

I also notice Youtube videos running very slowly when in fullscreen mode.

Field Note #1 @candykane 2009-08-07

RULE NUMBER 1 : never update your hackintosh
2. if you have to update back everything up
3 use the amd update util by Zef

Why? because updates brake hack installations by replacing kext files kernels and somtimes new incompatible software.

1 put your orginal kernel and system.kext back
2 download the universal installer and install the basic kext files
3 reinstal all your kextfiles that you nead for your hardware
4 look in your about your mac screen at your video card check If core image of quartz extreme still work if not you have to re install your video card
