10.10.1 Kernel Panics coming between me and my Girlfriend

[morada]

Guys,

I tried to build my 1st hackintosh on and older setup, but it was torture. I just caved in and bought brand new hardware to supposedly make my life easier... But I seem to be having worse luck with the hardware from the "Buyers Guide"

Core i7-4771
Gigabyte Z97M-D3H
EVGA GeForece Gt740
Samsung PC3-12800R 4x4GB
OCZ Deneva 2 SSD

Right now, the only Unibeast I can get to work is Yosemite. Mountain Lion gets stuck as some FakeSMCKeyStore line and I couldnt get past it.

The 2 major problems I'm trying to defeat now are:

• Kernel Panics that call out com.apple.NVIDIA (something like that, def mentions NVIDIA)
• System will not power off

The Kernel Panics are completely inconsistent. Sometimes I can get Yosemite to boot by using -v GraphicsEnabler=No , but it doesnt always work. Sometimes, the system will crash on Shutdown and twice, it just randomly froze.

The system seemed great before I ran the latest version of Multibeast for Yosemite. I selected DSDT Free, Realtek Ethernet and the rest was default selections.

BIOS

• Disabled Onboard Video and Audio
• AHCI
• Virtualization - Disabled
• VT-d - disabled
• Turbo Boost - Disabled

What am I missing here fellas? I don't want to sacrifice for on-board graphics... especially when the card I bought is supposed to be supported.

My Girlfriends thanks you all in advance,
Mo

*removed GT740 to troubelshoot power down issue and freezes...

Reinstalled 10.10.1 , so far no freezing. System power completely off when booted from Unibeast, but doesn't work after i run MB. I checked off EVOreboot.kext , but didn't work. I also tried to manually check /Library/Extensions and didn't find the evoreboot.kext file there.

Is this where I'm supposed to look? How do I duplicate what the Unibeast USB is doing for the power?

Thanks

***Resolved Power Issues***

I realized that the Unibeast USB drives my friend gave me had a DSDT for my old system board in the Extra folders. Removed, re-installed Yosemite without Graphics card and seems stable

Good job figuring it out. Those kind of problems are issues that no one here would have been able to spot.

So i'm not out of the woodwork yet. My system is pretty stable running on Intel Graphics, but is not stable when i install the EVGA GeForce GT 740

The first time I put it in, system always boots no problem. The next reboot shows me this Kernel Panic.





I know for sure the card is good. I used it in my Windows setup for a month. In my BIOS > Periph > Boot Video is set to PCIex1 (where the card is) and Intel Graphics are Disabled. I also tried using the Chameleon Wizard to change my system to an iMac 14,2 with Haswell LGA1150 and GT755m graphics.


Any suggestions from here?

Re-installed 10.10.1 using Clover yesterday. So far so good.

Looks like Clover has got the Yosemite bugs covered.

Could you please share your clover config.plist?

I have the same mobo and video card and am having the same kernel panic.

Thanks!
