    Would updating SMBIOS help?

    Hi guys, I'm getting jittery playback on media since upgrading to Mojave (yes, I know I'm silly. I have a GTX 760 and I [now] know the drivers are sub-par and there are no web drivers). Since upgrading my kit (current specs as listed) there's no change in the jittery playback. Will soon be...

    macOS Mojave is Now Available on the Mac App Store

    Install worked smoothly and quickly with no errors, contrary to the experience some have had. The only thing that's ~not~ working is audio. I usually use Toleda's audio_CloverALC script to install audio and this doesn't seem to work this time round. Any thoughts? From some reading I've done...

    Mobo and CPU upgrade question

    Sounds like a plan! Thanks very much for your help :clap: It'll probably be a while before I can get the new components but at least now I know I'm not on a fool's errand

    Mobo and CPU upgrade question

    Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade my Hackintosh, and have seen conflicting answers on other threads over how easy this should be. I'm currently running an i5-4460 on a Gigabyte H97M-D3H, and am considering a long overdue upgrade to an i5-8500 on a Gigabyte Z370M-DS3H or similar. From what I've...

    Apple security update 2017-001 changes build number disabling nvidia driver - Driver updated!

    I'm using a GTX 760, so no web driver. I presume I don't need to worry about problems after installing the update? Or am I missing something obvious here? Thanks

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    I re-downloaded the Mavericks installer and re-made my USB stick before doing a complete re-install. Within 5 minutes of booting, things started crashing. Flash installer crashed on every attempt to load, as did Dropbox installer. Safari did it now and again, and then the freezing started. Crash...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    Update time! It's been absolutely fine all day, until 40 minutes ago. Since then I've had 2 identical crashes. Looking at the crash report on Console, it would APPEAR to be graphics-related as it mentions GeForceGLDriver in connection with both crashes. The odd thing is that all the heavy...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    This is turning into an interesting one with several avenues of exploration. I deleted chrome a couple of days ago and was still experiencing multiple freezes and crashes. I've subsequently found a couple of threads elsewhere from users of genuine Macs who reported that it seemed to be VLC...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    OK update time. I've had 4 crashes this evening, and after each one I've checked the logs in console. It seems the process WindowServer is crashing and causing it to freeze up in the way I've been seeing. I've done some searching and found a thread on the Apple support forums filled with...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    Reinstalled LCC, still giving me the same message. I think my keyboard and mouse must be too old for it to recognise them. It's changed result a little in terms of the freezes now, though. Instead of just hanging, it's now seeming to almost soft reset the system - all apps are killed and...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    Hmmm LCC installed, system rebooted, am now getting the message "No Logitech Device Found" in LCC. I suspect this means i need specific drivers for my mouse and keyboard? (LX 710) but I can't find them anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks

    Trying that now...

    Mavericks randomly freezing, but not freezing (odd)

    *UPDATE* It just did it again, but it did what I can only describe as a soft reboot - all apps closed, finder restarted, then all apps loaded again. There was a 90 second freeze but still with moveable mouse pointer prior to that.
