Hello everyone,

after upgrading to 10.9.4 I get freezes again after a few minutes.
Everything I have done in the past to fix this, doesn't work anymore.

I almost sure it's the graphics card again, since it is a GK110b.
The same constant freezes appeared in all OS X versions before, but I was able to fix them
by disabling onboard graphics and using the nvidia web drivers. Well .. not anymore.

Please help, I'm lost.

Hardware:
3072MB EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked ACX
Intel Core i7-4770K Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H
32GB-Kit G.Skill TridentX PC3-12800U CL7-8-8-24 (4x8 GB)
Samsung SSD 840 Pro 256GB SATA 6Gb/s
WD Caviar Black 2TB SATA 6Gb/s
Seasonic P-660, 660 Watt, 80PLUS Platinum
GMYLE (TM) Micro USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle Dual Mode w/ Low Energy Technology Wireless Adapter (Broadcom BCM20702 Chipset)

Software:
334.01.02f02 Nvidia Web Driver (active)
Cuda 6.0.54
Mavericks 10.9.4
Multibeast 6.4.0

Things I have tried:
- Run memtest for a few hours: no errors
- Run memory @1333 and @1600: no difference
- Disabled onboard graphics in bios and deleted the kexts for onboard graphics in System/Library/Extensions, followed by running kext utility (in the past this stopped all freezes)
- Installed freezefix.app

Multibeast 6.4.0 Settings:
Quick Start > DSDT Free
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > ALC898
Drivers > Disk > 3rd Party SATA
Drivers > Disk > TRIM Enabler > 10.9.4 TRIM Patch

I used multibeast again and changed the following:

Drivers > Network > Intel > AppleIntelE1000e v3.1.0
Drivers > Disk > TRIM Enabler > 10.9.4 TRIM Patch

For the first one I used an older version and the TRIM patch I just ignored.
It now runs smoothly again. Idk why.
