Hey everyone,
Hardware:
GA-Z77-DS3H
Intel CORE i7-3770k 3.50GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GT640
10.8.5 (ML)
This is a re-post of a previous post that I made, but unfortunately it wasn't resolved, so I thought I'd put it up again updated. The previous post can be found here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/121228-waking-up-problem-10-8-5-a.html
This is my first build, and most of it has gone off without a hitch, but there's one problem that I can't seem to figure out. The computer can go to sleep (fans power down and LED's turn off) no problem, but when I try to wake it up again, the fans power up, the LED's turn on, but the display won't turn on. A force-restart is required to reboot it, at which point it starts up no problem. I attempted to troubleshoot, which I will outline below with excerpts from my journal.
Put the computer to sleep several hours ago. Tried to wake up computer just now, computer appeared to turn on, but display claimed that there was no signal, and even tried a second monitor, with the same results.
Thought the sleep problem might be that the graphics card wasn't rebooting properly, and because the display is plugged into the graphics card, the display wouldn't work. Tested this theory by putting the computer to sleep, waking it up, then plugging the display into the main motherboard. Nothing.
On suggestion by this forum: Hackintosh does not wake up from sleep I changed my darkwake setting in org.chameleon.Boot.plist to 10. No luck with darkwake=1 or darkwake=no either.
I removed the graphics card from the computer and used the integrated graphics to boot up. It would wake back up from sleep, but it seemed to present a new problem. When the graphics card was in, it would sleep properly but not wake up. When using the motherboard's integrated graphics, the computer would "sleep" by showing a white screen, but no fans would power down and the monitor wouldn't turn off. It appears that there is something wrong with the graphics card after all, but there might be something wrong with the sleep function altogether.
Display appears to go to sleep and wake up correctly, only when the actual computer went to sleep was it unable to wake up properly.
Installed "Kext Utility", and then used that to install the "sleepenabler" kext. This didn't solve the sleeping problem though.
In the BIOS, I disabled the onboard graphics, and selected the "Init Display First" to PEG (the port that my graphics card is plugged into).
I also disabled "PLL Overvoltage" in the BIOS.
That's all I know about the problem so far, any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
CIK
