Hi everyone,
I've built my hackintosh in February 2015. It's been very stable since then and the only minor issues I've had are the usual ones such as iMessage not working. Nothing serious.
Three weeks ago, I noticed my Hackintosh had restarted. I didn't pay much attention.
Yesterday, while I was away from it, it's rebooted by itself. Then it stayed on for about 10 minutes and rebooted again. I used it and it didn't reboot at all. After an hour not using it happened again.
After reading about similar issues on the forum pointing to the power cord, I've shut down my computer, unplugged the cord, plugged it again and restarted. It was fine all day, even when I was extensively using heavy programs.
For the past hours, it has been rebooting non-stop, sometimes right away and sometimes after a few minutes. Sometimes it doesn't get pass the boot loader, sometimes it reboots while Yosemite loads, sometimes when it's reached the desktop.
The only things I've changed in my computer before this is:
- installing After Efffects CC 2015 (4 weeks ago)
- installing iDrive (2 days ago)
- updating iTunes (2 days ago), not smart but I had to for professional reasons.
Any clue?
Thanks!
