I had a perfectly working ML build two years back. A couple of months ago I decided to upgrade to yosemite. But wait, I was smart! I left the ML installation USB as is and installed yosemite from another USB just in case it didn't work out.. I first installed Yosemite using Chimera it worked OK but there was a problem. It only loaded in 800x600, any other display options didn't work with my monitor. That is wrong as I had it working 1280x768 using ML. Thankfully, the awesome community here directed me to SwitchResX, which fixed that.
Then I decided that I wanted iMessage so I tried installing Yosemite, but here is where I **** up. I installed the Chameleon boot loader over the ML USB, thinking that the Chimera Yosemite USB works fine. After many issues I finally get it to work as chimera did , using SwitchResXThen after a while, my computer started randomly freezing, and given enough time, logging out. After I logged in again it would say "A graphics problem has forced the computer to shut down". I couldn't even get iMessage to work (and I found out, at the time, that it was broken)
So I decided to wait a while and a few days ago, I decided to go back to the 'working' Chimera install. However, ever since I installed Chimera the computer has been painfully slow at anything I do.. Browse finder? Beach ball of death.. Import music into iTunes? Beach ball of death.. Open google on Safari? Beach ball.. Open my graphics software? Beach ball.. Try to force quit any of these? **** you I'm staying in the dock and not even allowing you to shut down. Oh and just for ****s and giggles my computer pops up with these red and green squares every once in a while (6 times in two days). I really don't know what to do at this point...
Is it the hard drives fault that things are slow? I heard seagate drives have issues..
Is it the graphics card itself? I've seen so many threads where the 560 Ti has been having these exact same issues...
Is it the graphics card driver? Nvidia didn't release any updates for the 560 Ti and Yosemite 10.10.1
I honestly have no idea what the problem is and I've run out of things that can help me, and I can't even restore it to ML because I erased the USB and tbh I want to use yosemite.
I've tried asking here
On ******
looking through all other hackintosh forums
Tried every single thing I found on google. http://i.imgur.com/3FzJsYy.png
I will do anything just to get this thing fixed... But please just anyone help me with anything.. I don't know what to do anymore..
