GA-Z77-DS3H Yosemite Working Update

Yes, that is the same.

If your hack ever only boots until it hangs on apple screen with a grey no entry sign, reboot with KextDevMode=1 and it should boot properly.

But if it boots normally, leave it that way!

I found the Demon in booting with "0", i.e., the audio drivers don't load on "0." So, I edited it back to "1" and now the audio works, but it periodically hangs again when I boot. All in all, I can live with it....

Hi,
I installed Yosemite today and out of the box (No Multibeast) all I had to do was enter: GraphicsEnabler=Yes and my system booted fast & fine. Then I downloaded your MB settings, booting has taken 10 mins and it's not even 1/2 finished.
At this point I don't know if it's even going to boot. Any ideas?

 

[Neotil]

Did you let it finish booting or did you cancel because it took so long?
Do you have the same specs as I do or are some parts different? Because in that case, you would have to modify the multibeast settings to match your rig.
Hope this (kind of) helped?

Hi, Neotil:

You said you started this thread to help users with this motherboard, and I hope you can help me. I installed Yosemite without much fuss on a new 4TB drive, keeping my existing Mountain Lion drive as a backup. ML worked flawlessly, BTW. Everything seems to have installed perfectly and most of the time my hack works very well, but every once in a while, as in days of up time without incident, the whole system just freezes. No SBBOD, no kernel panic messages, no black screen - just frozen video and no activity on the HDD, unresponsive to everything and I have to push the reset button. I have no idea how to diagnose this issue and the Internet is being less than helpful.

I use my hack mostly for Final Cut, PhotoShop, and as a Plex server. Most of the freezes have happened when the system was only transcoding for Plex. Twice it's frozen while I'm working on it, once in FCX, and once while running Yate to reorganize my music library. All three programs are kind of intense on CPU and memory, but not /that/ hard.

Any ideas?

I think that's everything. I hope you and this amazing community can help.

I have the exact same problem, but you said it mostly freezes when you do CPU intensive tasks. I mostly use my computer to browse the web, and the freezes happen about once a month. I have not found a fix for this, sadly. It's not such a problem for me, but it might be for you.

I hope someone else can help you, but at least now you know that you're not the only one. ;D

Now THAT is disappointing. Did you find you were working perfectly under previous versions of OSX and now with Yosemite you're freezing?

I think Mavericks didn't freeze at all, but I'm not sure.

I'm facing a problem with my hackintosh. I booted fine until I updated to 10.10.2. Yosemite (10.10.1) worked fine on my desktop. The boot screen freezes on the apple logo with the progress bar at half way.

I can boot in with safe mode but regularly booting to Yosemite does not work for me. Does anyone have any suggestion/solution to my problem? Thanks!

I leave my rig on and let it go to sleep etc.. Because if i shut it down i have to reset it like 3-4 times for it to function. It'll freeze at the login screen then i have to restart it 3-4 times.
