Extremely slow boot - os x 10.8.5, gtx 570, ga-z77-ds3h

[TheM0rk]

Hi everybody,

It's been a while since I posted anything and my Hackintosh knowledge has gotten a bit rusty since my machine was working fine the past 2 years. I must say I haven't been updating since 10.8.5 because I encountered small problems and got a bit scared. Figured 10.8.5 was fine.

Anyhow, since two days my Hackintosh is suddenly booting extremely slowly. I have no idea what the reason is, since I didn't have this problem before at all. Today I was staring at the apple logo for about four minutes.

These are my specs:

Processor 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics GeForce GTX 570 HD 1280 MB
Motherboard GA-Z77-DS3H

Any help is most welcome!

Thanks again all of you for keeping up this great community.

All the best,

Morgan


UPDATE:

The last 3 times I restarted the computer it booted fast... I'm confused

It is probably fine now, but use Disk Utility Verify your installation disk and then Repair permissions to your installation disk. Then use DPCIManager and rebuild caches - can be a slow process if not using an SSD, leave for at least 15 minutes.
