    [SOLVED] Ethernet lost

    Solution: I think my problem was a hardware problem of the motherboard LAN. So I bought a new PCIe LAN board. This is an Intel EXPI9301CTBLK PRO /1000, $36 at Central Computer. It has the Intel 82574L controller, which is natively supported by macOS. All I needed to do was to install the...

Loading BIOS settings from backup BIOS". Ok. After boot, no more ethernet. System Preferences>Networks shows Ethernet(built-in)...

    Issues after upgrading to Sierra

    OK, I now realize I should have done a search for issue 1--my apologies. This is a very common problem, see https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-sierra-freezes-completely-when-playing-video-on-safari-hd4600.202540/page-15 Simply disabling Intel graphics in the BIOS seems to have fixed...

    [Solved] Sierra Artifact/Pixelated Login Screen

    I have the exact same problem, and "changing the wallpaper" (in System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver>Desktop) does not solve the problem. What I do is re-select the Sierra wallpaper. By "changing the wallpaper" do you mean: - I need to select a wallpaper OTHER than Sierra - I need to...

    Upgrading from Mavericks to Sierra

    Hello, I will attempt to upgrade my 4 years old Hackintosh (Haswell i7-4770K+Gigabyte 8 series GA-Z87X-OC+GeForce GTX760) from Mavericks to Sierra. I am looking at the Guide for Sierra and I do have a few questions: 1. I am aware I must change the system definition from Mac Pro to iMac...

    Network Connection would collapse, then crash the system; on 10.9

    Just want to confirm: I had a hung ethernet interface after transferring many GB of data to a Synology NAS. I was using AppleIntelE1000e v3.0.41a. After reading this forum, I reverted back to 2.4.14 and no more hangs! Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC, Mavericks 10.9.5.

    Black screen coming back from Display sleep (sometimes)...

    Since upgrading to 10.9.5 and NVidia Web drivers I experience occasional black screen when the display comes back from sleep. Computer sleeping is disabled, display sleep is set to 10 min. The computer is still on (I can start/stop songs in iTunes etc.), but the screen is black. This doesn't...

    AARGHHH... inadvertently installed Clover---What should I do?

    While preparing a Clover boot USB for another system, I missed the "Change Install Location" and mistakenly installed Clover on my main Hackintosh (a system that does not need Clover to boot). Settings are as per Clover guide, except that config.plist, SSDT.aml, and realetk kext are for a...

    Meanwhile, mine works, too. I don't know why, but suddenly it started working. Look forward to your guide. I just followed the Clover guide plus the three files in the Brix Pro thread.

    Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 FAILURE: black screen

    Well, still working on it.... Yesterday I removed the Atheros WiFi module, uninstalled Linux, and tried Mavericks again. No luck. It gets stuck at VM Swap Subsystem is ON. I have a feeling the boot USB stick somehow is either corrupted or contains the wrong kext and additions. I will try to...

    Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 FAILURE: black screen

    It seems that the Atheros WiFi module causes problems because it has country set to 0x60. Changing the EEPROM would require a Windows installation. So for a change I unstalled Ubuntu linux. It works flawlessly. Everything works great out of the box. The problem is that it does not support EyeTV...

    Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 FAILURE: black screen

    Disaster struck After a few days of running fine, I noticed that the computer was always shutting down (hibernating) after leaving it overnight. It would not reboot properly on its own (I had to select "Cancel Hibernate Wake" or similar). So I tweaked the pmset setting to disable hibernate...

    Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 FAILURE: black screen

    Just received and installed mini-PCIe WiFi module from eBay. Installation took 5 minutes, just replace the original one. It immediately worked. Now everything is working: Ethernet (I assume, will check soon), Bluetooth, WiFi. This small miniPC is very responsive and perfectly silent...

    Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 FAILURE: black screen

    Today I tried larger monitor connected to HDMI output via HDMI-to-DVI converter. The flickering went away, but the behavior is the same. If I let the system sleep, then I cannot reboot unless the USB stick is attached. When the system reboots it says "Boot from OS X Mavericks (hibernated)"...
