I'm thinking of running OS X on my old AMD computer (I know, it's not ideal, but I've managed to do it before and at the moment I cannot afford to upgrade).
Last time I used Niresh's distro, and everything worked brilliantly, but every now and then the clock on the menu bar would freeze (while the system clock would keep on going), some windows would freeze, requiring me to click on them to actually refresh them, and sometimes when attempting to run a program they would load up a very small, almost transparent window, which forced me to have to quit the app and re-run it. Needless to say, it rendered my hack useless frustrating to use.
Reading about it now, I'm thinking the problem (which occurred both on 10.9 and 10.10) might have been caused by a bug on Nvidia kexts (as referenced here, but I'm not sure and don't have enough time to try every fix I find.
My question is this: has anyone experienced this issue before? Did you have the same symptoms? Were you able to fix it?
I remember googling a lot at the time, but not finding a solution nor coming across this Fermi freeze bug. In case it's any use, here's my pretty ancient setup:
- CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ (2.1 GHz)
- Motherboard: ASRock ALive NF6P-VSTA
- GPU: Zotac GeForce GT430 (codename GF108-300)
- Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) Kingston DDR2 RAM
Any help will be much appreciated!
