Mac Mini almost there, but freezing

*RESOLVED Mac Mini almost there, but freezing

Recently I ordered the recommended parts off the 2014 December buyer's guide to build a Mac Mini. Right now it's about 99%. It boots, sleeps, wakes, plays audio/video, and is generally great... Except it freezes a lot. There doesn't seem to be a particular task that causes it. It even crashes in safe mode.

Here are my specs:
Gigabyte GA-H97N-WiFi

Core i3-4360

Thermaltake Slim X3 Low Profile (Air)

Crucial Ballistix Sport (16GB)

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB

Apex MI-008 (w/ 250W Power Supply)

TP-Link PCI Express Wifi Adapter


And here are my MultiBeast settings

Is there a way to find the code of what the system was doing right before it crashed? Like a post Verbose mode? Might be helpful.

Thank you for your time.

Have a look for an App called Console. It will give you reports to have a look at that might give clues or might point directly to the issue that caused the crash/Freeze.

Thanks for the reply, I looked inside console and then searched the forums with he codes I was seeing in there. Eventually came across some great info:

remove the GenericUSBXHCI.kext from System/Library/Extensions. Don't replace it with anything.

Run Kext Utility.

Quit and reboot.

Badabing Badaboom!

No crashes for quite some time now (although I'm sure I'm jinxing myself by saying that).
