Build-
CPU: Intel i7-2600k Overclocked to 4.4Ghz
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V Pro
Video: Gigabyte GTX 570
RAM: 4 x 4 GB G.Skill at 16000 Mhz
Hard Drive: OS X on 2 TB Western Digital Green and a RAID 0 of 2 x 128 GB Crucial m4 for Windows 7 EFI
Optical Drive: Optiarc 7200 and a Pioneer BDR-206DBK
OS X Version: OS X 10.8.0 Mountain Lion and then upgraded to 10.8.1 (issue is the same in both versions)
Regarding Storage Setup-
The 2TB Mountain Lion Drive is connected to 3Gbps Intel SATA port and the RAID 0 array is on the 6 Gbps Intel SATA ports. Marvell is not used, but not disabled.
The Intel controller is in RAID mode which boots fine after including the RAID device address in a .plist (can't remember the name).
Point is, OS X boots fine in RAID mode and this issue was still present even in AHCI mode.
My motherboard settings -
Internal PLL Overvoltage: Disabled
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled
HPT: Enabled
SATA Controller: AHCI/RAID (neither make a difference)
All States in CPU Management are Enabled Except for CPUID something something...
Regarding DSDT-
BIOS is patched. Attached is my extra folder with org.Chameleon.Boot.plist and DSDT/SSDT.
I made the DSDT with the generic P8 patch, ALC892, AppleRTC, and I tried using with and without the ASUS Shutdown patch. Same results.
Regarding SSDT-
The SSDT I got online from a thread in this forum from someone with the same CPU/Mobo that supposidly recognizes up to 4.9 Ghz. I'm only at 4.4 Ghz.
I have tried to use the Multibeast 5.0.2, but got a kernel panic if I didn't set each core seperately and if I overclocked passed it's maximum of 4.2 Ghz.
Speedstep works perfectly and I get some nice, evenly spread out states.
Regarding SMBios-
I've tried all types MacPro 3,1-5,1 and MacMini 5,1/5,3 and iMac 12,2. Nothing fixed the sleep issue. I stuck with MacMini 5,3 since that gave me the most evenly spread out P-States according to MSRDumper.
Multibeast Installation -
I used the Multibeast method installing the Audio kext (with DSDT) for ALC 892, TRIM Enabler (don't really need), Gefore 4xx/5xx OpenCL enabler, FakeSMC (and plugins), USB 3.0 - 3rd party, hnak's Apple IntelE1000e, PathcedAppleIntelCPUPowerManangement.kext, AppleRTCPatch for CMOS, with Chameleon Bootloader 2.0-svnr2042.
THE PROBLEM -
-So the build tries to go to sleep and turns off... less than a second later it turns back on and sometimes it complains about drives not being unmounted properly. Also, sometimes, the mouse is laggy for a few seconds before it starts to work smoothly again.
-Shutdown causes the entire machine to shutdown properly, completely turn off, then three seconds later it turns on again. So strange! Is this normal!?
-Restart causes the same thing as shutdown, but not all devices power off before the motherboard proceeds to POST and try to boot up something. It never seems to be able to though; it hands and freezes at either the BIOS screen or a blinking cursor... some kinda corruption/miscommunication between the OS and the Mobo...
I'm not losing BIOS settings, but could this be a CMOS corruption? Even though I patched the DSDT with AppleRTC and installed the patched kext with Multibeast?
-Final strange thing... If I boot into OSX and try to Sleep/Shutdown/Restart (ANY OF THEM!) then Sleep in Windows is BROKEN! I try to sleep and it turns on a second later after everything powers down. I can fix this by switching off the power supply and draining the motherboard of power (no lights on). If I boot straight into windows from here, sleep works fine, but breaks as soon as I get into OSX and try to Shutdown/Reboot/Restart.
What's attached-
-Included Extra folder with no themes.
-Included Chameleon bootloader installation log.
-I've also included a kext dump with all kexts and non-apple kexts.
This problem has always been here even before the Nvidia CUDA and the Logitech package were installed.
Plea -
Does anyone know what the hell is going on....? Because I sure don't... Thanks for the help! and sorry for the extensive post.
