My issue is complex. I had a stable build on Sierra, then I updated to High Sierra last year and things went downhill. I started getting the random freezing issue, so after dealing with that for a year I figured I’d switch from an Nvidia card to a Radeon and update to Mojave. Several issues...

This is a fun one. I’ve poked at it for 9 hours today and I’m at my wit’s end. Previously I was on 10.13.6 with an Nvidia Windforce 1060. Ever since I moved to 10.13 from 10.12, I was getting random freezing, which I heard was NOT an issue with 10.14. But since I was using an Nvidia card, I...

The problem: My system seems to only think it has USB 2.0 ports. I definitely have USB 3.0 ports. I guess I've just never realized this was a problem because I never needed USB 3.0 for any devices, but now I do and that device won't work at all, saying explicitly in-software that it only works...

I've been working on this problem for weeks now and it's driving me absolutely insane. I updated from Sierra to High Sierra and ever since, I've gotten random freezing. Sometimes it happens as early as during boot-up. Sometimes I can go for hours and hours with no problems. Sometimes it freezes...

I downloaded the EFI Mounter, but the clover.plist file is nowhere to be found to manually change the flag from "Inject NVidia" to "Use Web Drivers." When I run EFI Mounter it says "Multiple EFI partitions found:" and gives me the options for disk0s1, disk1s1, disk2s1, and disk3s1 (all mount...

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz Current Graphics: EVGA GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) DirectX 11 012-P3-1570-AR 1280MB 320-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express Monitor: Apple Cinema Display w/ DisplayPort adapter Current OS: 10.7.5 (Target OS: 10.12...

I built this machine four years ago when 10.7 was current and, for the most part, never updated any OS things because I didn't want to disrupt the delicate hackintosh balance. I got through the process with major help here, the machine has worked well for that whole time, and I'm grateful...

It's been so long since I've had to do anything at all to my hackintosh that I got complacent and allowed OSX to do its own update. I'm pretty sure I went from 10.7.4 to 10.7.5 without using the standalone installer, which I know is generally a no-no. Fortunately, everything works fine except...

Sometimes I have problems with my Hackintosh and whenever I need help, the folks of tonymacx86 invariably fix whatever I messed up. I love this forum and this thread is to archive a solution I came across for a problem I found absolutely maddening. I'm posting this in hopes that if someone else...

I have a functional and reliable Hackintosh that I've been using for a little while now. The thing is I have a 128GB SSD boot drive and a 1TB secondary hard drive and I recently realized I've been installing everything on the 128GB, which I intended only for programs I wanted a speed boost on...

Minor issue #1: I can't install anything on my second hard drive. I have it partitioned as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and my system sees it and runs just fine with it plugged in, but I can't install anything on it. I just tried installing Office Mac 2008 and it said I needed 10.4.9 or higher...

Everything seemed to be going well. I pasted the DSDT from Step 4 to replace the PEG0 line and its several proceeding lines, I got it to compile successfully, and I installed without a problem. I rebooted and now my machine only goes to a white screen with my mouse cursor in the top-left...

I built my Hackintosh (mostly) as a game development machine. I've got Lion 10.7.3 smoothly running on it and Windows 7 cruising along with Parallels. I have my nice suite of Photoshop, Illustrator, Game Maker, Unity, and all kinds of other nice game and resource making programs installed and...

I did some searching on the fora and found conflicting results: Can you or can't you connect Apple's displays to a Hackintosh? I built a machine with the EVGA GTX 580 and I'm using DVI outputs right now, but I'm returning and replacing my current monitor because it makes a horrible whining...

So I assembled my system and almost everything was working perfectly. I had issues with having to RMA my CPU fan and my PSU, but this morning I got everything re-assembled, enabled full HD graphics and OpenGL, and Cinebenched nicely. Then I realized I had no sound. I tried plugging in my old...

Hey everyone! I did my homework and, working off of a few tutorials and a wiki, I have a full list of parts that I think are supported. Before I drop the cash for them from Newegg and Amazon, would you folks mind looking them over to make sure everything plays nice with each other? I'd like to...

Hello everyone. Here's what I'm looking for: 1) I'm looking to build a high-end desktop for gaming and game development. I want my home operating system to be OSX, but there are Windows programs I need to run as well, so it seems like a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, Parallels, and Windows 7 is...
