Hi guys, The new mac I built is giving me random freezes, and I can't figure out what it is... . I got Gigabyte Z68x-UD4-B3, i7 2600K, GTS 450 with 16 Gigs of Ram and running 10.6.8.
I know my graphic card is a trouble maker but with my old machine ( same graphic card ) I just ran a VLC video in the background and it was all fine... but now when i'm running it, I still get a random freeze but they are different... Before I used to get a "legit" Kernel panic with "you need to restart this computer" message popping.... but now... it just freezes, mouse and everything stops working... Do you guys have any ideas how I can nail this down?
Is it the graphic card still and with SB processor and 10.6.8 the KP is just a different animal?!
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks so much.
