MacBook Pro, 2.33 GHz, 2 GB memory, 10.4.10, with x1600 card. Viewer crashing after tp about 90% of the time. Pretty stable otherwise. I have tried reducing inventory, clearing cache, trashing cache folder and reboot before launching SL and nothing helps. What gives? What to try?

I have ALOT of stability problems too with the exact same hardware configuration as you. I believe part of the problem is a heat issue. I have installed a program to override the fan controls and have to keep the fan running consistently at 5200rpm or so. If I don't the computer gets VERY VERY hot.... and things start going crazy with any kind of high intensity graphic activity.
Hopefully LL and Apple have a fix in the works for this.
Very disappointing.

The chipset that monitors internal heat stops the graphical sub process when the heat gets to hot. IE: Your bios-driven mouse will still move. Sound will play, background processes are fine, but the display will no longer update.
On a side issue, running inside a virtual machine, SL is somehow randomly calling cli then hlt, directly...which should be impossible in a long mode OS.

Very disappointing. Thanks for you helpful post. Now I can guess at the sequence of events. I teleport and my computer has to load all the textures at the new location. The load on the system causes the temperature to rise. The crash usually happens after the textures load but the temperature has been building and then the crash. I will look into the fan control overide and see if that helps. |
