Need some more help.
I used your guide for my system in Lion, all worked perfectly.
With mountain lion I run into several problems.
Using generate CPU states results in a KP during. Without it startup fine.
I'm using a GT430 discrete card, with the natit.kext to get rid of the freezes.
I've got hdmi audio working with your guide.

The setup is used only as a htpc with plex.

But I can't get sleep to work. My screen goes turns black, but fans keep running and wake is not possible.
The sleep kext for 10.8.x results in not booting.

Any tips? Should I install first with only 3000HD? I find I need the gt430 for superior quality.

Would changing the system def help?


Thnx.

Are you using the files in the Extra Folder included with the Download?
 
If I'm correct ssdt is no use with an i3?
Is there a specific string in there that has to be used?

With the new nvidia drivers the gt430 performs well, except for sleep. Can't get that to work, don't understand what I'm missing.

Did you install the dsdt included in the download?
 
Yes I did, I adjusted the hdmi layout, that works fine via the gt430.
Got sleep for screen working, but not deep sleep for system.
Fans keep running and wake is impossible.

Did you install the USB3 kext (PCXHD)?
 
No I don't use usb3 so didn't install it. Kext is also not in s/l/e.

The situation is getting worse. Tried to go back to 10.7.4 because that always worked well. But same problems.
End up with a perfectly working system. Except sleep, the fans just go into overdrive, screen turns off.

With patched 0503 I can boot using pstates and cstates. Null........kext removed, appleintellcpupowermanagement installed. Ran kext utility. But no luck.
Frustrating as hell.
Please let me know what info I can provide.

My P8H67-I Deluxe is working perfectly as described in Post 1. It worked fine with 0503 on 10,7.4; you may want to install 0803 (I am on 10.8.2). Suggest a clean install with the dsdt, ssdt, Boot and smbios as attached. Until you have the same system described in this thread, it is not possible to troubleshoot your problem. Example, the system does not require darkwake and you have it set to 30. Attach a copy of IOReg. [Guide] How to Make a Copy of IOReg.
 
Thanks for all your help.
I took out the gt430 and am gonna try a fresh install using your guide. Will send the IOReg details later when done.
Hope you saw in my sig that I don't have the deluxe, but the pro version. Your guide has worked perfectly for me before in 10.7.4 before, so can't figure out why it doesn't anymore...
Because of the pro I can't update the bios as there is no newer patched one out there.
