Hey guys, I did a search and didn't come up with much as far as this goes since the official UEFI is fairly new.
About 2 days ago I decided to take the plunge and update my Z68X-UD3H-B3 board from BIOS to UEFI since it was out of the beta stage, and honestly everything went quite smoothly, except for one thing in particular, and that's what I assume are video issues.
I've been running the system and it's been fairly stable. Prior to the upgrade I made sure to remove my DSDT.aml from my Extra folder and rename it as a backup. After the upgrade I lost audio on boot, but installing the non-DSDT HDA kext and running the repair tool resolved that quickly. Now my problem is that I have instabilities with my video performance or possibly the CPU, not sure at the moment since I read that there were overclocking instabilities with the beta version and my system overclocked. I've not had a chance to run Xbench or Geekbench tests, but I plan to ASAP once I get home this evening and I'll also check the logs.
Basically, my video will just block up at random times in the middle of non-strenuous and strenuous tasks alike, which then results to it force logging me out. Once I log back in, all is fine until it'll randomly occur again, which at this point hasn't shown any kind of trend and also doesn't happen but maybe once a day. I've also noticed that when doing something simple such as grabbing and dragging my Finder window it seems to be a bit choppy at first then smooths out.
My build specs are below, but if anyone else has experienced this issue or can point me in the direction of another thread for troubleshooting, it'd be greatly appreciated. If another thread exists, I apologize and I'll be sure to delete mine.
Thanks!
