 | Specs: MBP Retina Mid 2012 (2.6GHz/ i7/ 16GB ram) running Ventura 13.7.4 Short installation saga: I tried myself to install OCLP using four different OS spending about four months, none of which worked (got stuck towards the end of the installation process). In the end I gave the laptop to a guy who installs OCLP for a living and has done hundreds of installs on different machines, he nearly gave up doing mine because it failed him like it failed me. In the end he said the motherboard needs replacement, which I let him do, he installed Ventura 13.7.4 and ever since it worked like a charm (~ it's been 4 months). Problem: About 3-4 weeks ago I noticed that the machine started doing the rainbow spinning wheel around once every 5 days although my usage hasn't changed in the past 4 months. I thought I might just be unlucky, but ever since, the appearance of the rainbow spinning wheel has increased, to a point where it happens every 5min. Only today it ended up crashing on me after another spinning wheel episode and upon restarting the machine (which took 15min on the apple bar loading) I was presented with the crash report attached below. I have not done any additional new patches in the past 4 months (I was very scared to change anything since getting this system was so difficult to achieve and I was happy just keeping what I had). So post-install patches were installed, but nothing new that was released after about 4 months. Any thoughts on this? When I asked the guy who installed what to do he was like "dunno what you expect, this was inevitable, your machine is just too old" - isn't OCLP made for old machines? [link] [comments] |
