Moarfish's build - GA-B75M-D3H i5 3570K

OK Modit, I see the image of your bios, the problem isn't caused there. I noted a couple of things from a thread with the older type bios motherboards with the same symptoms :

If you are using Skype - quit before switching off, it has caused some people problems in the past.

If you have a WiFi card - remove it (with computer disconnected from the power) and try to see if that sorts the problem.

Try these and see if they help.

Ok i think i got it sorted out I don't use skype nor do I have the add on wifi card. I did a Bios update to the board and that seems to sort out the problems thanks for the help.

I just installed this board in my Quicksilver G4. The install went smoothly including the update to 10.8.4. Unfortunately, when I choose to go to sleep, the monitor goes grey with a frozen mouse icon. Hitting any key wakes the computer up and it works fine. Tried reinstalling the patched intel power management but still no luck getting the computer to sleep appropriately.

This is my build

GAB75D3H
i5-3570 not the k version
"About this mac" shows Intel HD2500

http://ark.intel.com/products/65702 - Your i5 does indeed have HD2500 Graphics.

What did you select for your MultiBeast Installation? Which graphics card are you running - or are you using HD2500?

I went with the recommended Multibeast settings on the first page. Planning to use the HD2500 until I get things stable.

Could this have anything to do with selecting the profile (mac pro vs mac mini) so that it recognizes internal graphics.

It would be best to leave the system definition at Mac Pro 3.1 until everything is stable. You can re-apply this definition in MultiBeast. If you plan to use HD2500 Graphics, beware although some people have it working - it isn't supported by Apple (no product that they make has ever used HD2500) for the moment they work for some, but it seems to be out of luck and a quirk rather than by design. If Apple clean up the Intel graphics options in an update, you might find that you will have real problems. Remember problems normally occur at the least convenient time!

Here is a link for HD2500 : http://www.tonymacx86.com/graphics/...ge-hd2500-full-resolution-qe-ci-10-8-3-a.html

You can give this a try, but consider adding a graphics card to give you reliable graphics performance. My sleep is working, although I don't use it, many others do.

Hey guys, I finally tried doing it yesterday. Butt when I hook up my graphic card I can only get past the apple logo with the spinning wheel but it will go into a grey screen right after.thats probably because I'm using the 770. But I can't enter osx normally even when I'm using the internal graphics... Any ideas? Other than that I followed the regular tonymacx86 mountain lion installation and used the same multibeast settings as moarfish.

Does motherboard GA-B75M-D3H comes with S/PDIF (Digital or Coaxial)? Isn't soldered in motherboard, but does it come with stock expansion plate or I need to buy separately?


It's very important for me, I will use this machine as HTPC also.

The S/PDIF support comes from the Green audio port - my understanding is that it is optical - so you can use an adaptor like this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003WUHKA8/?tag=tonymacx86-21

or a cable like this : http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000L10ZHQ/?tag=tonymacx86-21

Please confirm this with other build users before buying the board

Other B75M board users - not all use D3H version - so be careful!

I don't think so, in user manual says that connection to digital audio (coaxial and optical) is made throught internal pin (S/PDIF Out Header).
So I dont know if a plate like this comes with motherboard, or are sold separately.
