Howdy all!
I have been having hell of a time trying to figure out why my new hackintosh build just decides to up and reboot on me. It only seems to happen when the CPU is tasked with a lot. So for example, saving a photoshop document, the dang thing quits on me. Same with adobe indesign. Sounds like adobe might be the problem, I don't know though. But, tasking the machine with other computing processes causes it to quit.
All hardware is fine, have run a ton of tests. I don't get any console output on the errors or else I would post that up. I dual boot windows 10, have run hardcore tasks on it to see if it would do it on that side, everything is fine, so this ends up being a software and hardware miscommunication on the OS X boot. I am out of ideas and can't seem to figure it out through my research. I hope this is an easy fix to get this machine stable, I will be using it as a work machine.
Could it be the GPU and nvidia drivers causing this? Since adobe uses GPU acceleration now as a feature? I haven't tried turning it off yet. Are there any bootflags that will help with the Skylake CPU?
I greatly appreciate any help and would love to provide anymore information you guys need to help me think through this. Y'all are my last resort.
