Does anybody experience wake up from sleep problems with the new mdd pm ?

I am running all the latest software versions, 10.2.4 and the latest firmware.

What i experience is, that when i set the system to sleep for a longer time the applications will unexpectedly quit. - Sometimes it is o.k.

Maybe a problem with my ram - but it passed the long version of the hard ware check.

Maybe a problem with my peripherals - usb peripherals.

Maybe a problem with the battery.

Maybe a problem with the hardware.

Anybody got any ideas.

No problems with my brand new FW800 1.25dual yet but i'm running 10.2.3

I have had tons of problems with my new 1.25DP Firewire 800 model... (10.2.4 with new firmware)

In the last three days I've had involuntary log outs, crashing iApps, airport issues, waking from sleep issues and I've seen the fancy new kernel panic screen more than once... I am actually pretty unhappy with my system... I've never had this much trouble with a Mac before. Especially not with Jaguar...

Last night I had so many crashes that I decided to scrap the hard drive and restore the software... I decided not to update the firmware and I also didn't install 10.2.4...

Everything seems a little bit better now aside from the Airport. I guess that's because I have a non-Airport Extreme white base station. Hmmm...

I haven't had enough time to fully test my new install, but I definetly think it helped...

Any suggestions, comments? Any help?

Thanks!

I've had a ton of problems with my dual gig MDD. Mostly panics and sometimes slowdowns after sleep. And odd mouse behavior. It's really pissing me off to the point where I'm going to demand a refund. I can't edit on this CPU(s) unless this gets fixed.

Seems like i found the problem. My second RAM extension-the one they gave for free when i purchased the machine. After removing it everything seems o.k.---for 2 days now.........

The maker of this free dimm is Winbond. Felt weird already when i installed it.

I have had this problem very rarely, as in twice since I got my dual867 in August. I could fix it by unplugging my external firewire drive. Then my drive died completely and when it did, my Mac would never wake up with it connected.

I have just experienced this wake from sleep problem for the first time on my week old FW 800 1.25dual running 10.2.3.

I could get no response whatsoever from the keyboard and ultimately had to unplug the machine to restart...

You got any 3rd party cards (eg: graphics) in that thing?

macbarry · Mar 4, 2003, 10:34 AM

No third party cards. Machine is stock except for one added RAM chip.

O.k. since 4 days after i removed this winbond thing (RAM chip).

I have experienced this wake from sleep one
time. I ran permissions disk and haven't had the tick recur. Machine is stock, 256meg
Ram.

I have Corsair XMS 2x 512 in my machine right now. I'm going to move it over to a Shuttle PC I'm putting together as I've ordered a 512 from Crucial for my MDD. I hope it helps, but I think I remember it being unstable even with the stock 256, which I think is Samsung. I really hope I don't have to go through trying to get a replacement MDD from Apple.

The RAM chips i am running right now, since everything is o.k. (knock on wood) are Samsung, as the original is, the 512MB are from Kensington but the chips are made by Samsung.

Funny as is, but the Kensington modules i have i bought from the pc-shop of my mac reseller, when you order a more expensive apple compatible one you�ll get something different and one of them did not work.

OK my 512 Crucial has now replaced my 512 x2 Corsair XMS. Lets see what happens...

Update: We've gone a few hours and one long term wake-from-sleep w/o incident(*knock on wood*.) Let's hope my good furtune continues.

MacDate Log 3-5-2003:

Today she woke from sleep w/o crash or funkiness. I'm starting to have hope in the new Crucial RAM. The crew is getting hopeful, but inside I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop...

you_are_right · Mar 8, 2003, 04:30 AM

Now since one week everything is fine, looks like the the dp mdd pm is very picky with the ram modules used.
