System crashes
Hi everybody
I'm running Leo4All 10.5.5 distro on MSI K9N-Ultra, Athlon X2 5000+, 4 Gigs memmory and 3870 Video. And my system sometimes crashes. Most often it happens when I read or write to NTFS partition but I'm not sure its the problem.
Did anyone had the same issues? Could anyone recommend a program that stresses hardware and test stability for Mac?
Thanks

im not sure but 4Gigs memory might be the problem. Go BIOS and disable memory hole remapping.

Damn I use both Vista x64 with swap disabled and Mac OS X. It would be very annoying to switch bios every time

Hi,

Add this kernel flag to your boot.plist to force 3GB:

maxmem=3072

Code:
sudo nano /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>maxmem=3072</string>
