Folks, Any recommendations for a video card for a system with the following specs? - Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H - Intel Core i7-4770K - Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3 1600 - Samsung 840 EVO 240 GB I'd prefer to not have to reinstall everything. I've had Yosemite running smoothly...

I'm looking for a new video card for my current Yosemite build. This will replace the GeForce GT 610 I'm currently using, which I installed when I was having problems with my GeForce GT 610. I have the following components installed: - Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H - Intel Core i7-4770K - Corsair...

I seem to have isolated this issue to my graphics card -- GeForce GT 640. After reading some more, it seems like others have had issues with the GT 640 under Yosemite as well. I tried several different things, including install of some different kexts such as EvOreboot.kext. That seemed to...

I'm getting errors when trying to restart or shutdown running Yosemite 10.10.1. Any help, guidance, etc. would be appreciated. Here's my configuration: - GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD5H - Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz - EVGA GeForce GT 640 -...

I've had the GA-Z87X-UD5H for almost a year now, and I've had nothing but problems with it. At this point, I'm ready to buy a new motherboard, as I'm convinced that's the problem. I have a 10.10 install disk, and I successfully installed it on my build with the GA-H77N-WIFI board. When I try...

That seems to have done the trick. Thanks a lot.

When choosing "Shut Down" from the Apple menu, my computer restarts instead. I also tried invoking "shutdown -h now" from the terminal, and I get the same thing (although the screen looks a little different while shutting down). I am running Mavericks 10.1 on a GA-Z87X-UD5H. I used...

Thanks to everyone for your help. The new build is put together, and everything is working fine. I did NOT have to use the clover boot loader. The ASUS GeForce GTX 660 worked out of the box. I did need to make some additional BIOS adjustments I hadn't planned on, but at this point...

I had not been planning on this. Is it required? Is there a little more detailed guide on using the clover boot loader? As for the UEFI update, I've read about some issues with updating video BIOS for ASUS cards in non-ASUS motherboard. I'll be using a GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD5H for my build...

I'm working on a custom "pro" build. I already have all of the components but the video card (I'm actually waiting on an RMA replacement for the motherboard). I'm looking to get the ASUS GeForce GTX 660 (GTX660-DC2O-2GD5), as I can currently get a pretty good deal on it, but I've read that it...

Article: MultiBeast 6.1 Update I second this request. Would be most helpful. Thanks, as always, for your great work.

I never figured out what was wrong with this. However, it's related to use of the on board graphics. First, I put an old hard drive in this build that had Mavericks installed. The hard drive came from an iMac I had. I was able to boot that drive using the same setup and choosing the hard...

Thanks for the quick reply, Going Bald. Unfortunately, I had no luck. I tried with and without the "dart=0" flag and had no luck either way. I am leaving VT-d disabled in BIOS unless someone suggests otherwise. Attached are updated screenshots in case anything changed. These were taken...

I'm trying to install Mavericks, and the system is hanging on boot from the USB drive. I have tried several flags on booting, and nothing seems to work. Attached to this post are some screenshots taken from a verbose boot. As far as background is concerned, I'm trying to install Mavericks on...

I'm trying to put together a new mini build, and I'm running into some problems with the hardware. I essentially have the parts recommended for the CustoMac Mini, December 2013 edition. The problem I'm running into is with the CPU fan/heatsink not fitting under the power supply that comes in...
