Long time reader/lurker, first time poster, so please be gentle if I mess up the protocol on how to ask for help.
This is my 4th build, so I'm not a total noob, I've just always stuck pretty close to recommended gear to make things easy, and the info on these forums has always solved any issues I've had. So thanks for the years of support! It's been so comprehensive I've never needed to ask a question in 3 years of doing this hobby
Anyway, this new build is great.
Love the performance, it's a very easy install and it's been super stable, even during lengthy Final Cut Pro X edit sessions.
It just has one remaining gremlin that I'm trying to track down a fix for, and it's proving resistant to lots of searches, both here and the broader community.
Sometimes (but not always), when the system auto-sleeps (which it actually does quite well), it will begin an endless reboot cycle when I wake it. Like the UEFI/bios settings are getting tweaked or something and it tries to recover them. It reboots, shuts itself down, turns on again, shuts itself down. Throws up a UEFI config screen, and then reboots again. Hitting delete, confirming UEFI/Bios settings and then letting it reboot seems to be the only way to stop the cycle. It's almost like something is happening in the UEFI/Bios itself.
My UEFI settings are the standard ones recommended on this site. Optimized defaults, AHCI, XMP Profile1 for 1600mhz memory, etc...
I've done an endless set of reinstall, multi-beast settings to try to clear it up. No joy.
Short of rolling back to a conventional BIOS, I've run out of ideas to try.
Since it's sporadic, and otherwise the build is running super-smooth, I've half a mind to try to live with it.
But I'm kind of OCD about this sort of thing and it's really annoying me.
Was hoping one of you ninjas had run across something similar and just has an obvious fix you could point me to?
As I said up front, the build is a very standard one with dual-OS SSDs. I just use f12 to pick at boot time.
My multibeast selections are very straightforward because most stuff is native (especially since switching to UEFI and Mountain Lion).
I don't need one for audio, networking, or graphics (other than OpenCL enablement).
I'm not using integrated graphics from the 2600k.
I've tried installs both with and without Trim Enabler.
I've got my USB3 ports currently disabled so I'm not adding any drivers or using them, to further reduce my surface area to troubleshoot.
Usually I just check the boxes for DSDT-Free, 3rd Party Sata, OpenCL for 670, and then customize for GraphicsEnabler=No, set machine to iMac12,2 (I've read it's better for perf) and check the box for SSDT i7 (not overclocked).
Like I said, it works fantastic, with this one little glitch which strikes some of the time.
Almost perfect.
Thanks in advance for any tips you can offer. And even if you can't, thanks for the 3 years of assistance you'e given by contributing to this site as you all do on a constant basis. This is such a fun hobby, thanks to you guys.
