Hi,

Please list your system specifications (edit your post)!

Do you have a system with 4 GB RAM or more? Maybe you need one of the 64bit-adapted chipset drivers, mainly for nForce, VIA and so.

Yes i have 4GB ram and what drivers where i should get them ?

Update.

Here is picture of kernel panic, but i am not sure if they are allways the same. "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel_task" was utorrent one time i remember.

We corrected the issue Naquaada talks about above while in the IRC channel but I figured we would add it here too. In your case you have an nForce 570 chipset which is the same as mine. I was able to use Slashacks 64bit modified kexts to prevent freezing.

64Bit AppleNforceATA.kext: http://darwin-ata.googlecode.com/files/AppleNForceATA.kext.zip

1. Remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext if it exists
2. Copy AppleNForceATA.kext to /System/Library/Extensions
3. Entered your admin password when prompted
4. In Terminal write:

Code:

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleNForceATA.kext
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

5. Restart using the boot flags:

Code:

-v -f -F

Sometimes Extensions.kextcache is not there. This isn't an issue. What we are trying to do is make 100% for sure that the cache is recreated with the new kexts. So basically we are deleting the cache and then booting with -f to force OSX to pull from the Extensions Folder

If your still having problems you can repair disk permissions in Disk Utility or by using Terminal with the following:

Code:

sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

This method can be used to install any kext you want. When installing homebrew kexts repairPermissions will make no difference as OSX wouldn't know the proper permissions to assign.
