Lion 10.7.2 freezeing

[foxglove]

open system.log in console.app and wait till it freeze.

Well I can't get it to freeze right now for some reason, but it typically occurs when playing flash video.

Just like I thought.
Uninstall flash, repair caches, reboot, install flash.

Quick question - how do I repair caches? Is that done somehow with Multibeast?

Thank you,
Fox

Ok so I did a test. I formated and reinstalled Lion using UniBeast. Once Lion booted up from the fresh install, I left it as is. I did not do the combo updated to 10.7.2 or run multibeast all I did is download and install Flash and firefox. I went to youtube and started to watch videos( sound was not working cause I didn't do multibeast fix that, but I didn't want to for testing purposes ) Reason why I'm doing this is to see if Flash is Freezing Lion, becasue when I did the combo update and multibeast and watched flash videos before thats when Lion froze. But skipping out on those steps everything worked (No sound mind you) But something to do with the combo pack I'm thinking is freezing the system. It Freezes like 10-40mins into playing flash content Only other thing might be the video card 5850 but system see it fine so i don't know

Well I've now re-installed OSX using Unibeast and still I experience these random total screen freezes that required hard reboot but while my mouse can still move across the screen.

This latest freeze I wasn't running Chrome at all, so it must be some other error. Here's the console.app latest stuff before the 9:22am freeze.

Any thoughts? Would NullCPUPowermanagement help in this case? Would perhaps a different level of RAM allocated to video help (currently set to max of 480+ in bios)? Any other thoughts or ideas?

Thank you!

Any progress? I can tell you that now I'm using SL and it works very well. No graphic problems. In the Lion I'm experienced graphic problems too. Maybe you need try 10.7.3 beta or wait for final.

no progress on my end.

I am also having the same issue. What's interesting is the machine is still accessible via SSH (Terminal) from another machine. I've tried logging-in via SSH and killing the windowservers, etc. to see if that will force a logout and screen refresh, but it hasn't worked. Not even "sudo shutdown -h now" works -- but I can still access files, etc.

It's very puzzling.

(ASUS P8Z68-V LX with i7-2600K. Intel HD 3000 graphics.)

 

[neilhart]

Using HD3000 I have found 10.7.1 to be stable. 10.7.2 gives me screen artifacts of all sorts, some boots are much more affected. However 10.7.1 just does not give me any problems. And I do not use Chrome by choice and do not experience your flash problems. I use FF with Adblock plus and Flash plugin with success.

Okay, this is not a "Hackintosh-only" event! It is a Lion event. Behold:

http://www.tested.com/news/2011-imac-ow ... lion/2648/

So, uh, now what?

Backup early. Backup often. That's what.

 

[EugeneY]

That's a 10.7.2 driver problem. If a situation will solved in 10.7.3 that's will be good but if not, I will stay with SL.

Quick question - how do I repair caches? Is that done somehow with Multibeast?

Thank you,
Fox

repair cache =

kextcache -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -local-root -all-loaded -kernel //mach_kernel -prelinked-kernel //System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/kernelcache -volume-root / //System/Library/Extensions

hmm i never try chrome in lion, and still never had this freeze experience.
