Problem Solved: it was the thermal paste, bought new and now it works fine, it was getting hot fast. Thanks for all comments and realize it was a dumb move not to use new paste.

I just restarted after a few hours of being off. It worked fine for about 5 minutes, then the lines came back in both monitors, so is not a video cable issue. It freezes after that. Could it be a heating problem? It has a dual fan cooler, but maybe need to apply new paste?

I got U1c... It may be the problem!

Can somebody recommend me any testing I can do before sending back the CPU to the seller?

Unfortunately not. I was trying to avoid buying a card. Was using the cpu graphics and planned to upgrade to the 4000 with Mojave.

I just updated my Gigabyte Z68 GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 mobo from i5 2500K to i7 3770K and get lines on the screen and unresponsive after a couple of minutes, photo attached. The bios showed the correct cpu, everything lookked ok and then the lines appeared. Any ideas?

I checked mu BIOS, it's UEFI version U1c. Hope this works better with Mojave. Thanks again for your nice help, as you may see it's been years I did the hackintosh and has worked so well that never needed updates. Regarding the video card, i see lots of variations. Is something like this...

Wow! good to know, thanks for the great advice, I was about to upgrade, would have been "blind" trying to use the native video... Great idea on the used i7, any in particular that will replace the i5 with same size?

No idea, need to check, any easy way from osx or i need to boot from a spacial usb? I'm on El Capitan with chimera. Has worked so good that never had the need to update. Very stable and silent (6 noctua fans) For a RX580 video card, Can it run without fan? I'm not doing high end gaming or...

I have a hackint0sh on a Gigabyte Z68 GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 with 16 MB memory, and an intel i5 3.29. It has been working flawless for the last 5 years, maybe more. I want to upgrade it, install the latest OSX and maybe add a video card. Right now I use the motherboard's video as it was the most...

I agree, the easiest way is to use the migration assistant, when you install the OS it will ask if you want to transfer from another disk, just connect your hackintosh drive and will copy all preferences, apps, etc.

Success! OK, not 100%, but good enough. I reverted to 10.7.2. Then applied the combo update and applied multibeast 4.4.1, with DSDT and -ONLY- HDA Rollback. Restarted and had video in one monitor and audio. To get the second monitor had to disable Graphics enabler in my boot plist. So I'm still...

Wow! Thanks for the last two posts! I actually reinstalled 10.7.4 from scratch, got startup panic, installed the package of whom shall not be named (that relates to bakery) and allowed me to start up my hackintosh. All of a sudden I could not admin the box, it started my account as a standard...

Thanks, I will try it. Where can I get 4.3.2? I reinstalled again, and now I got a text based bootloader instead o the graphic one. This is getting worse by the minute. I will redo the install again, hope it works... Leech3r

Hi, I have a ga-z68ma-d2h-b3 B9 that had it working perfectly with 10.7.2. I upgraded to 10.7.4 and lost audio and the second monitor. (AMD Radeon HD 6570 1024 MB graphics) Already ran Multibeast 4.4, installed the latest ATI and Audio drivers (889) but still no avail. Any ideas? My hardware...
