I posted this issue in my Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Build thread it may be caused by my SSD, a Vertex 3. vdmesis suggested going into the BIOS and disabling HDD hot swap and unchecking the option to put the disc to sleep when not used in power management. Hopefully this info is helpful. I still get...

I made the changes and it looks like my build is running smoothly. Thanks, vdmesis! Edit: I still have some freezeups, but not as frequently; it's much improved. I'll see if I can tune it up a bit more.

Yes I have a Vertex 3 SSD. I will check power management options and update. Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone getting freezeups in their Hackintosh build? I get these 1 sec freezes when doing something graphics related, like resizing windows or loading web pages. Tried with a Magic Mouse, USB wireless mouse, and USB wired mouse, all the same. I looked in Activity Monitor and Windowsserver...

I tried plugging in a USB wired mouse, and I still get the same freezeups. I also have an OCZ Vertex 3 SSD. Maybe that has something to do with it? It usually locks up when it's doing something graphics related, like loading a webpage, resizing windows, etc.

I have the same issue happening on a Asus P8Z68 Deluxe with 2600k. In Activity Monitor, the following processes usually spike up when the mouse cursor locks up: Firefox, Firefox Plugin Process, and WindowServer. The freezeups happen when I use my Magic Mouse with a Kensington bluetooth adapter...

I am ashamed! :oops: :lol: Thanks, lxlifestream. :clap: I don't know what I did, but my About this Mac is looking better than before. Thanks, everyone.

I've been using this guide to install 10.6.8 (not going to Lion). - I've also had troubles installing speedstepper. After installing 10.6.8, my network worked so I just opened up this thread and copy/paste the command into the terminal. It worked. - I've also had problems booting due to kp. I...

I've been using vdmesis's guide here: vdmesis guide for p8z68 deluxe After booting into iboot, are you taking out the iboot disc, putting in the SN install disc, and hitting F5? You should see the SL install disc icon. Type PCIRootUID=1, hit enter, and you should boot into SL install disc. I...

Post moved to 16.8 area, not 10.7 related.

Thanks TooSixty! I will try now and update with results. Also, thanks to everyone here at tonymacx86, especially tonymacx86, for making this great resource available for noobs like me. :clap:

I was able to install 10.6.3 using both iBoot 3.1.0 (using PCIRootUID=1 both before and after install) and Tony's boot. Yay, I made progress. lol I disabled Speedstep and Turbo in BIOS, but it may be possible to install w/ them enabled. Next I'll CCC and try installing 10.6.8 and using...

Hi everyone, I'm on my way to building my 2nd hackintosh for photo/video/audio production/editing! :headbang: Parts: - CPU: 2600k - CPU Cooler: Scythe Yasya - This cooler supposedly clears the heatsinks on the Vengeance RAM. - Mobo: Asus P8Z68 Deluxe - My Gigabyte UD3R mobo worked...

I tried installing the card in my Sandy Bridge hackintosh and it's a no go. It automatically found the card and opened the Ralink connection software on my UD3R build, but nothing with the Sandy Bridge build, which I'm still trying to get fully functional.

Re: Audio Interfaces......... I have an Avid Mbox 3 mini (USB) and it works fine. I like having a big volume knob on the desk. :lol: I also have a 003r (firewire) and it works perfectly also.

Re: Top-Spec'd Z68 Build - Q&A's Looking forward to your step-by-step. I have an Asus P8Z68 Deluxe and 2600k also and would like to get it up and running like as solid and stable as my Gigabyte UD3R and i7 930. I'm using my 9800 GT Silent Cell to cut down on possible variables that might...

Thanks karacho, I got in the BIOS and changed the HDD boot order. I am noobing it up. :oops: :lolno:

Hi, I'm back and sober! :lol: The message I get when the booting stalls is: "VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA......" Could the fact that I copied my entire itunes folder over instead of just the .wav and .mp3 files over be causing my issues?

It gets past the BIOS/POST screens. And then it stalls at some screen that I can't remember in my current drunken state. :D My hackintosh is at work so I'll update where the booting stalls and what message is on the screen when I get back to work on Wednesday. Sorry for my lack of relevant...

I have Win 7 installed on a Vertex 3 HDD and OS X installed on a Samsung Spinpoint HDD. I also have a data drive for music/photos on a separate Samsung Spinpoint HDD. The problem I'm having is that when I reboot from Win 7 to OS X or vice versa the computer stops booting when I have the data...
