Hi all,

I have a Hackintosh that's worked for several years now, albeit with occasional crashes. However just today it's stopped booting up successfully. Each time I boot I see the attached screen (this shows what I see when I enter '-v' on the boot screen; without doing this, I see a similar message, but with the Apple 'You need to restart your computer' message overlayed on top of it).

I have Windows on another partition, and booting into that still works, which I presume means this is an issue with my OS X install rather than a genuine hardware fault in the CPU?

So my question is: what can I do to fix this? Are there any standard troubleshooting steps for Hackintoshes written up somewhere?

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate any help you can give!
Tom
