Quicksilver Freezes After 1 Minute (Full Boot)

Booting normally lets the user use the system for 1 minute. After 1 minute, it beachballs and then freezes entirely, but no kernel panic.
Booting into safe mode has the system running fine. PRAM and everything else has been reset, machine contains no PCI cards or anything but the stock video card.
Why would safe mode work and normal boot wouldn't? After a week of this problem, did a fresh install of OS X (zeroed out the drive), which continues to do the same thing. Current system is latest stable 10.4. Can burn DVDs just fine, no other issues aside from there being no audio due to safe boot.
Any ideas?

Hi-
There are default items that are "placed" there for you. I assumed that you also installed your applications and such. Sometimes conflicts arise between the OS items and the third party items.
Since your problem occurs even after a fresh install, it could be a hardware problem. I don't think so, as you are fine in safe mode. Have you installed any custom fonts? these can cause problems:

Do you have the Apple Hardware Test disk? If not, you can download a copy:
http://www.info.apple.com/support/aht.html
Suspects would be, first and foremost, RAM. Second, could be the hard drive. You can also rum Memtest for testing the RAM:

More questions- Did the problem exist prior to the 10.4.10 update? Did you run 10.4.8? How was the system under 10.4.8?

My imac freezes after 5 minutes of use

my imac freezes after 5 minutes of use, that's including after i reboot. is there something that i'm not doning because it's freezing on all my programs.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Video downloads freeze after a minute or so

When I download videos, for example from a site such as Vimeo, or the iPad promo video from the Apple site, the video freezes after a minute or so and will go no further. Any ideas? Is it down to the size of my processor? There doesn't seem to be a problem with viewing stuff on YouTube, or with TV programmes from the BBC.
I've noticed that downloading stuff other than videos is rather hit and miss anyway - the download speed will suddenly fall and once it's below about 180kb/s it stops altogether- sometimes if I stop the download and start it again straightway it will carry on for a bit longer, but sometimes I have to start again from scratch. I don't know whether this is related to the problem with the videos.
Any ideas, please?

HI,
The iPad video is not available for download from the Apple site. You have to launch iTunes, select iTunes Store in the Source list on the left then type in: *Apple Keynotes* in the search field top right of the iTunes window.
Vimeo requires that your Java Script be turned on. Go to Safari/Preferences and select the Secuirty tab. Where you see: Web content Make sure the top 3 boxes are checked,.
Vimeo also requires the most recent version of Flash. If you have Flash installed, first uninstall the old copy then reinstall new.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then repair disk permissions...
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Your download speeds are determined by the type of internet connection you are using. Broadband/ DSL ... you can check download and upload speeds here. http://www.speedtest.net/
If you have a broadband connection your download speed should be about 16Mbps

Rented a movie on Apple TV but it kept freezing after one minute of play - help please

Try waiting a few minutes, or longer, to see if the beachball goes away. Start up iTunes, then go do something else for awhile. Perhaps iTunes is going some overdue bookkeeping and once you let it do it it will work again.

Purchase a movie, down loaded it. But when I play it back it freezes after 10 minutes of playing. What can I do to fix the problem?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Tecra 9100 freezes after several minutes

My Tecra9100 (P4, 1,8 Ghz) freezes after several minutes. It shows no reaction on keyboard or mouse input.
It doesn't matter whether I'm running WinXP, Linux or just enter the BIOS.
Rebooting the system leads to a shorter period until freezing (several seconds).
First I thought of overheating of the cpu but a small hardware tool shows me that the temperature is normal and the cooling fan works.
Any idea? Perhaps a problem with the VGA?

Hi
Yes, its perhaps something wrong with VGA but I think it could be a memory fault.
Try to replace the modules and check if there are some performance improvements.
If not, the technician should check the notebooks motherboard
You know; Its always not easy to say what could be wrong without any diagnostic procedures

HD Channels freeze after 5 minutes

Since the launch of BT sport my HD channels including new BT sport freeze after about 5 minutes. Help suggests I restart Home Hub and BT vision box. This gets the system going for the next 5 minutes. Note this is the behaviour whether accessing BT sport or BBC1 HD. I can actually get the channel to unfreeze by simply changing channels so its not really necessary to reboot all the boxes. Unfortunately this approach does not work when trying to record your favourite football team.
Other details: BT Vision box is connected to Home Hub by powerline adaptors and I often get a message with error VMC999 complaining of a slow connection.
What is particularly irritating is that I have a new Samsung smart TV which displays all HD channels perfectly (via Freeview) and seamlessly streams HD on demand content by connecting wirelessly to the BT router.
I have made two attempts this week to contact BT (0800...) but abandonned them as there are'nt enough hours in the day.
So what I propose do is to "enjoy" my "free" BT sport channels (I have infinity account), cancel my BT Vision subscription (if BT ever pick up the phone) and subscribe to Netflix, Blinkbox, etc.
If anyone has any practical or technical suggestions please comment.
Mike

Did you manage to try using an ethernet cable rather than the power line adapters (PLA's)? Did this solve the problem? As others mentioned the PLA's are probably causing the VMC999 error. You need a reliable connection to the Vision+ box for the multicast channels to work smoothly. Being live channels they have to work in a slightly different way to on-demand content.
If after trying a cable you still get the multicast channels freezing after approx 5 mins every time you try to view/record them then you are not the only one. In that case I suggest you read this thread I created a while back. I got it fixed for my line, but it still seems to be affecting some customers now. Get your stopwatch out!

IBook G4 freezes after 10 minutes

my iBook G4 freezes after a few minutes of use.
it starts up but freezes after around 10 minutes (variable 5 - 20 mins). The screen is frozen and no keyboard or mouse input is accepted. Only way out I found was to power-off. This happens from cold.
When warm, it freezes on startup with blue screen.
I have been able to clear the disc and reload MAC OS from install discs and the symptoms are identical. There are no modifications, no devices connected, no network connection and the wifi is turned off. It makes no difference whether the battery is removed and run on power supply or simply run on fullycharged battery.
I tried:
1. remove/replace wifi card and memory check connections OK.
2. Startup from install disc and repaired disc, although it was OK. Disc seems to be fine.
3. Reset PROM.
4. stored the iBook in a cold place and it ran for longer.
5. Ran a temperture monitor - all temperatures are OK.
6. I have tried using the latest MAC OS 10.4 and the original one supplied with th iBook (10.3).
I do not think it is a disc, airport card, cooling fan or battery fault. It could be a memory module failure or some motherboard fault. Its not software or driver.
I think the only thing left is that some hardware fails when it gets wram and works agin when cold. The colder t is to at startup, the longer it works for.
I have now run out of ideas.

It ran long enough to install from disc-1 then froze. After restarting, it asked for disc-2 and that loaded then froze. After restarting, it worked a short while then froze. To get this far, I left the iBook in a cold place before starting it up and this extended the runtime from the normal 5 minutes to as much as 25 minutes.
I disconnected the disc and it behaved the same while starting from the CD drive so I think the disc is OK or its more than one cause.
This feels like a dry solder joint problem, to me - applying pressure on the motherboard or lowering the temperature will temporarily fix it for a few minutes.
If I pay for a repair then, statistically, it will last 3 months longer so its too risky. It would not be so bad if Apple could repair it with confidence that it will not have the same problem again, but to do that they would have to admit to what causes the this problem with so many iBooks.

Apple Hardware Test freezes after 2 minutes

I have an early 2012 MacBook Pro with 8gb of RAM. Over the weekend I turned it on it ran very slow, to the point where I could only open up a finder window after five-ten minutes. My harddrive is still in tactic and the computer works fine in recovery mood. I did a PRAM reset and also SMC thinking that will solve the problem. Then when I went to turn on the computer it gives a loading screen for about a minute and then turns off. So I went in and ran a diagnostic test, both the extended and the shorter one. In both cases it gets to about 90% on the progress bar and then freezes. The mouse is still responsive, but it is very laggy. In the extended test it froze at 37 minutes and with the shorter test it froze after 2 minutes.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue and knew how to solve it.

[Solved] System freezes after 10 minutes if no monitor attached

I've got a server machine that has been running Arch for a month now. It has had a problem of constant freezing all the time. At first it seemed completely random but today I noticed the system freezes up exactly after 10.00 minutes of uptime, if there is no monitor plugged into the system. If I unplug the display after ten minutes, the system will run fine as long as I want to (days, weeks) without it. Ten minutes is also the time after which the monitor will go into stand-by mode. Seems like some kind of a power-saving bug? No entries in any log file @ /var/log...
The system runs only basic home network functionalities; it serves as an NFS server, a print server (CUPS) and runs Lighttpd as a web server. It doesn't do Xorg nor has any fancy kernel modules loaded either. The system is up-to-date (stable repos). No custom-built software.
Somewhat sad since I previously ran NetBSD on the server, but it didn't support my printer-scanner (only printer OR scanner, one at a time), then switched to FreeBSD which failed with my new WLAN card, so then turned to Arch that I've ran on desktop for years now (also like the BSD-ness), and then this...

Case closed, the source of trouble was once again kernel mode-setting (I think)... I blacklisted the drm_kms_helper module and some other stuff and that disabled the KMS functionality, and the server now doesn't freeze at any point.
