Turns out plugging the external drives into USB 3.0 ports solved the WORST of my "freezing" problems, but there are still several times (at least 2) a week when everything freezes, and I can't move the cursor and I can't enter anything with the keyboard. All I can do is reboot. Could this be...

I may have solved this problem. I had the (usb 3.0) external drive plugged into a usb 2.0/1.1 connector. Now that it's plugged into a 3.0/2.0 connector, my hackintosh is much happier!

The title says it all. Yosemite was working fine, then I installed an SSD and attached a usb drive and set up time machine. Yesterday I installed Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC, and now my hackintosh won't even keep running long enough for me to get into Multibeast and enable TRIM and make sure...

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does "select kext-dev-mode=1" mean? (I'm a Windows native, so I haven't learned where any of this Apple stuff is located yet.) Thanks.

I'm a newbie wrt Hackintosh builds, although I've built 2 Windows PCs successfully. I have an Intel i5 4670 and a Gigabyte H87M-D3H motherboard. The Intel CPU includes Intel HD Graphics 4600, whatever that is. Do I need a separate graphics card for this build? And can I expect to successfully...

... and a Gigabyte H87M-D3H motherboard? The Intel CPU includes Intel HD Graphics 4600, whatever that is. And can I expect to successfully install Snow Leopard on it?
