    Adding a Hard Drive causes my system to have video problems - El Capitan

    A current example of this is that even though my boot options are set to boot the "LastBootedVolume" with a timeout of 5 seconds, every time I have booted up, it does select the last booted volume, but the timeout to make a selection is 10 seconds. See code below... <key>Boot</key> <dict>...

    Reboot so far, has fixed both my video issues, and my ability to mount the EFI partition using clover configurator. We'll see how long it lasts...

    Adding a Hard Drive causes my system to have video problems - El Capitan

    Update - I had rebooted my system to check the bios settings. Now I am getting even more video errors. Long rectangles, squares which appear randomly across the screen and "blink" every time I press a key on the keyboard. Also, certain characters appear as blue squares with black lines in...

    Adding a Hard Drive causes my system to have video problems - El Capitan

    With regard to this suggestion, I double checked that in fact my bios has the SDD as my primary boot device, plus both of my other HDs are not SDD and make a significant amount of drive noise when they are selected as the primary boot device. So that does not seem to be the issue..at least on...

    Adding a Hard Drive causes my system to have video problems - El Capitan

    I like the idea - tried it and it seemed to help initially after unplugging and replugging the cable in, however my cable was securely fastened to each end (MB and Monitor) - and now my screen looks like fireworks going off with every key stroke. So, it did not resolved the issue.

    Adding a Hard Drive causes my system to have video problems - El Capitan

    I'm using an Intel Sandy Bridge CPU with Intel 6 series MB (Desktop). I was finally able to Install OS X El Capitan using Clover bootloader. I had my system running perfectly. Then I turned it off. Added a brand new 5 TB drive for backup purposes, and when I booted up, I started to...

    Audio problems with 889a and 10.7.3 (EP45-DS3)

    Yes, I have exactly the same problem. Videos will start to play, but stop soon after - all while continuing to buffer. Mac sees my sound card in the system profiler, but not in system sound settings. Just reinstalled AppleHDA.kxt, and nothing is fixed.

    [Solved] VoodooHDA system preferences not saved on reboot

    Yes, your are correct (just displaying my minimal set of skills for the entire forum). I was able to find that kext (though finder doesn't see it with default settings, and not sure if there are settings that would allow it to be seen). Everything works! Used kext beast to install. Thanks...

    [Solved] VoodooHDA system preferences not saved on reboot

    Thanks for your reply. Maybe this is the problem - I can't find anything called voodoohda.kext. I do have voodoohda.prefPane which I am able to do as you suggest. However this is what I see when I open info.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD...

    [Solved] VoodooHDA system preferences not saved on reboot

    I have been trying to get my VoodooHDA system preference pane to save the input gain level (which defaults to high, and produces white noise upon startup) that I keep having to change every time I boot up. When I change the gain to zero, the white noise goes away and the sound is great. It...
