After I upgraded to 10.9.3 I started to have constant freezes on the computer. Mouse and keyboard stopped responding and I needed to hard reset the computer.


After several tries with boot flags and other stuff I ended up disabling completely IGPU in the bios so only my GTX770 is working now and I haven't experienced freezes since then.


The downside to this is that I loose airplay but not a big deal.

is anyone experiencing this?
 
What memory are you using? and what speed? My experience with 10.9.2 and 10.9.3 (being even worse than 10.9.2) is that each update I've had to refine memory settings. 10.9.0 and 10.9.1. i could run memory at 1866mhz no problem on standard profile.

10.9.2, i had to lower it to 1600mhz to avoid freezes. on 10.9.3, i have to run it at 1600mhz AND set it to "better stability" in bios in addition to that. This is tested with both corsaire and gskill memory.
 
I have 2 corsair vengeance 1600 MHz.
I changed it to better stability but leaving to 1600 MHz. the freezes continues.


I will continue doing tests in that direction.


Also, considering the problem resale are by disabling internal GPU, could this be caused by amount of memory allocates to the GPU?
 
I have been having the same problem with my Asrock Z87 Extreme9/ac. I am running Chameleon and if I boot with the -f option (ignore boot cache) the problem goes away. Not sure why, but the -f definitely fixes the problem. I have the onboard intel graphics and dual HD7970s enabled.
 
Hey, I had the same problem, this is how I fixed it:

1. Boot into mac os x
2. Goto System/Libraries/Extensions
3. Delete (or move to a different folder) every file starting with AppleIntelHD and AppleIntelF (so all 3000,4000, etc files as well as the Framebuffer ones, which I believe are the real culprits);
4. Run KextUtility http://www.osx86.net/files/file/3640-kext-utility-for-mavericks/
5. Reboot

I have this trick from:
http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...i7-4770k-ga-z87x-ud5h-32gb-ram-gtx-770-a.html

His built is pretty similar to yours.

He describes it as well under post-installation fixes and I believe 10.9.3 brought back some files causing trouble.

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the information, but sadly it didn't work. I removed those kexts and ran Kext Utility but freezes still happen.
 
I had constant freezes going from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2 and after about 2 weeks, gave up an reverted to 10.9.1. when you guys say you upgraded, which version was it from?
