[ToH] Install completed, however crashes on alot of things

**bigdogjonx** · 07-17-2008 03:22 AM

So I finally was able to get the ToH 10.5 to install on my Dell Optiplex. Originally I had Tiger 10.4.10 running on this for a good 6months or so and finally decided to run Leopard on it.

Once the install is completed after a few reboots and fixing the issue where the install DVD must be in to boot to Leopard, I finally got it up. However almost anything I do causes the black screen stating you must restart your computer by holding the power button down. For example accessing Safari, it launches and begins to show the website, and basically then instantly crashes. If I launch System Profiler, same thing it opens, but after 5secs, black screen window message and crashes. Another example is that I attempted to connect to a windows share, it then asked for the user/pass for that share, and as soon as I hit connect, black screen window stating same thing and crashes

I dont think the network is causing it because I can open a terminal ping anything, google.com, you name it. So dont think network is causing it. It just seems anything that I do causes a that you must reboot message in the black screen crash.

Anything I should take a look at on this?

Try other version like Leo4All v3.

Goodluck,

Well tried the Leo4All v3 however it just crashes while loading the install DVD, before even getting into the gui front end of the installer. I tried to analyze that with a -y -x on startup, but as soon as it hits its snag, it just reboots the PC giving me no time to read/analyze where or what was giving it issues. Kalaway DVD gives me the same problem too, crashes loading the install DVD. ToH was the only one I was able to get into the installer let alone actually perform an install.

Another thing leading me to ToH was it was recommended to use that because of its SSE2 support.

Post you PC detailed config.

**bigdogjonx** · 07-17-2008 03:52 PM

Its a Dell Optiplex GX270 PC, tower style.

It has a NVidia GEForce 6200 256MB AGP Card in it.
Intel Pro VE 100 Network card
Both Hard Drives are running on IDE cables
DVD/CD Drives also running off IDE cables
The CPU is a P4 3.2Gghz with 1GB of RAM

Again I was able to get 10.4.10 running on this great with QE/CI working and everything going good. I had to do a bit of tinkering with it to get it working, but overall not too bad.
