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>

Thank you Puttabong and riangeli now everything works flawlessly :D

I hurried :( Kernel Flag still gives me System Crash when I re-check huge amounts of data in Transmission...

Have you tried maxmem=2048?

THRESHE 10-21-2008 11:19 PM
