Title: Ant miner U1 and Asteriod crash my Mac sometimes.Need a fix
Post by: film2240 on February 02, 2014, 12:21:18 PM
I've just noticed this issue but once a day for the past 3 days now,whenever I mine with Ant Miner U1 ASIC,using Asteriod (since it's the only software on my mac that works for mining) it crashes my mac.

Here's what happens:
1.Mining fine for a while (24/7)
2.Screen goes black,mac crashes and restarts
3.I'm greeted with a grey screen saying 'You computer was restarted due to a problem'
4.System restarts ok and am greeted with a dialogue box saying the same thing.
5.Dismissed it,everything loads fine until the next time.

My Mac used to have rock solid stability before I started mining with the ASIC/Asteriod.

I'm not sure what's wrong and am unhappy with a crashing mac caused by the ASIC.

I would really like a fix otherwise I'd have to sell the miner/stop mining for good.

Would send a log here but not sure how to get that info off my mac.

Edit:
Here's the og I managed to get so far https://www.dropbox.com/s/aravdzu6rqjek6c/Console%20log%202%3A2%3A2014%20so%20far.rtf

Copied it off my mac into a document.I don't know if the answers lie here or somewhere else as I'm not too good with stuff like this.
