Hi everyone. I just finished building and installing my first Hackintosh and have one tiny problem. Well, kind of a huge one. Everything is working perfectly except for the fact that the computer freezes every 20-30 minutes. No error message or crash or anything- the computer totally freezes in time. Screens and everything stay on, but the clock stops at the time it froze. It's unresponsive and must be shut down the hard way by holding the power button.
The only odd thing I've noticed one time is that the USB seemed to shut down. I only noticed this because the LED light on my Wacom tablet was off. The other times it has frozen the USB stuff stayed powered up.
From what I can tell, there isn't anything triggering it. It does it whether the computer is sitting idle or working.
In terms of hard drives, I'm booting off of a 500GB Samsung 840 Evo. I have a 128GB 840 Evo for a swap drive, and three more SATA drives for storage and Time Capsule. All drives are running off the "regular" controller and not connected to the Marvell one.
Just to double check, here are the settings I applied with Multibeast after the installation:
-User DSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
-ALC898 (without DSDT)
-Intel hnak's Apple Intel E1000 ethernet
-Chimera 2.2.1
-Graphics Enabler=No
-System Definition: iMac 13.2
Did I miss anything? The motherboard is still on Optimized Defaults and the only thing I changed in there was to disable the onboard graphics because that was causing issues loading OSX initially.
I could really use some help because I've searched and searched for anything resembling the problem I'm having but haven't run across anything that's been effective. It's so annoying because other than the computer being essentially unusable and (until it's fixed...) a gigantic waste of money it's really nice. Haha.
