I also have a RAM problem with the Asus Z170-P. I cannot put any RAM in slots DIM_A1 and DIM_A2. If I do then the computer appears to start but with no video. I think this is a problem with these Z170 Boards as I have just watched a video of somebody with a Z710-P D3 ) with exactly the...

I have 2 Samsung 500GB SSD 850 EVO's in software raid as my boot disk. I get really good speeds.

I agree. I always create a new 'Hackintosh Recovery Partition" with an OS X minimum install just for situations like this. I only apply updates to it when I am certain they are fully functional.

Article: Building a CustoMac: CustoMac Mini 2012 Very easy to do. I have one in my Hackintosh HTPC and it works perfectly.

Article: OS X 10.8.2 Update GA-Z68XP-UD4, ATI Radeon 6870 1GB, 16GB Corsair RAM, Intel i7 2600K, 120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD, 128GB Crucial M4 SSD Success with combo update. All I had to do is remove OEMsmbios.kext from /system/library/extensions, reinstall audio from multibeast and...

I have been using this keyboard for nearly a year and I can say that its excellent to use. Works with my Hacintosh, including Sleep and Wake. I prefer a non bluetooth keyboards because they always function when editing the BIOS or accessing other operating systems.

Thanks, this worked for me. Remember to Repair Permissions and rebuild Kext Cache. I used "Kext Utility.app", it worked a treat.

Tried to update by downloading the OSXUpd10.8.1.dmg from the Apple Website. Installation Failed and when I rebooted it loaded all the extensions and then I got a kernel panic. Had to restore my boot drive back up 10.8.0 using a backup. Update : Tried to apply the update via the App...

Worked for me too.... I used Kext Utility to install the 2 kexts as it creates a backup of the current kexts. Mountain Lion boots much faster. Thanks! GA-Z68XP-UD4, i7 2600K, 16GB RAM

I can confirm that both solutions enable a successful boot into the ML installation program: 1. Connnecting the Intel built in graphics (i3, i5, i7) to your monitor and then running the Mountain Lion Installation 2. Using the HD 6870 but removing the ATI6000Controller.kext from the...

I have the same problem but a different motherboard and processor (GA-Z68XP-UD4 and i7 Sandy bridge). I think it could be down to Graphics card support in the installer as I have the same one as you. I may try and boot connected to the built in HD3000 graphics.

Just received my Macbook Pro IR board from http://www.powerbookmedic.com/ and soldered it onto a USB cable and it works flawlessly. Waking my HTPC with the remote is a bonus. I am using Remote Buddy to enhance the functions of the remote. :D
