Hello and just want to say thank everyone in the tonymacx86 community! I am pretty new at Hackintosh and only just heard about it two months ago. So forgive me if I sound like a noob at times.
So far, the Hackintosh is working great! It is fast and did not have any problems but only when I am into the desktop. The first issue that I had was it sometimes freezes during boot up or at the login screen. I had to restart the computer a couple of times until I am able to use the desktop. Once I am in, it never freeze (even during rendering in Premier Pro) and everything seems to work. I fix that issue by using Chameleon Wizard by adding -v so it will boot every time with that flag. So far, it does not freeze just during the boot up but I just have a nagging feeling that it is not suppose to boot with flag at all.
However, like I said it still freezes during shutdown because when I am using three monitors, my third one freezes on the desktop while closing and the other two is black screen. The fans and computer are still on. I do have a feeling that the method (the drivers) on how I install the Mac OS X is what causing me the problems.
Here are the list of parts I used on my build:
Here is the method I used (except Generate CPU States because it will not let me boot at all and change it to Mac Pro 6,1):

If you have any other questions or any suggestions for a fix, it will be very appreciated!
Thank you!
