Hello all.
I've got my hackintosh up and running with the latest version of everything and it works great...
apart from this one major problem.
SPECS:
CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair CW-9060025-WW Hydro Series H100i
Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston FURY 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage: Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit
Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 PCI-Express x1 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi Adapter
Monitor: BenQ GW2765HT 27.0" 2560x1440 60Hz Monitor
When using the Hackintosh for Gaming (Firewatch, Oxenfree, Team fortress, Cities: Skyline) or Editing and Motion Graphics work (Premier, After Effects, Cinema 4D) after a while, the PC will just lock up. The sound will cut, the screen will freeze like a screenshot. The keyboard doesn't respond when I hit CapsLock (as in, the light doesn't come on). The fans still spin and the light on the case is still on, but it is not responding. It needs a hard reset to get it back.
Now, this freeze, or lock, can happen after 10 minutes, 20,30,50 minutes. A hour or two. But it will happen.
And once I reboot, there's usually a 90% chance it will freeze within the first 5 minutes of logging in.
I've wiped OSX and installed Windows 10. Same problem. I've reinstalled OSX and it still happens.
Basic use if fine. Web browsing, Netflixing, Spotify-ing and so on.
Any idea what the problem could be? I have no idea where to start.
Cheers for the help
