so, ive junst installed Tiger and the iApps. I uploaded some footages from the old camcorder and edited it with iMovie. It was flawless. So, clicked on iDvd to burn and to test the app. It crashed. I turned the mac off. restart. clicked on idvd it crashed again... now, looking through the apple support page, a reason why my mac would constantly crash is due to latency between the disk drive and the CPU. months ago, i have upgraded my macs HD to 200 gigs( and yes the crashing was also constant back then, it only stopped when we bought a new super drive, but now with tiger the constant crashing is at it again)... should i buy a smaller HD? do help thanks [TITLE EDITED FOR CLARITY AND MOVED TO PROPER FORUM] [Edited on 5-11-2005 by Adel]
and oh yeah... usually the mac would crash around the 10th or 11th song whenever i rip a CD ( i use different CDs).
This does seem to be a firmware incompatibility with your HD. The firmware in your unit probably can't properly handle the HD drive geometry of the newer 100+ GB models.
i was asking around at the apple forums and the people there said that the problem might be due to the RAM. the ram might be defective. what do you guys think?
I guess bad RAM is always a possibility. If you upgraded it by yourself, try removing the added chip and see if your system stabilizes.
