Some wierd problems

[moonwalker]

Hey everyone,
I have some weird problems after installing almost perfectly working ML 10.8.4. I will try to be short and explain what I did.

0-My specs: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L v1, C2Q6600,4GB RAM, ASUS GTX 560ti DiCu2

1-Installed Mlion 10.8.4 with Windows as dual boot on the same HDD, I got almost all perfectly running, except the random freezes, but I guess it's the NVidia driver's fault. I didn't install any video drivers, Mlion found it by it's own.

2-Installed IOAHCIBlockStorage, NullCPUPowerManagement and Chimera, then rebooted without usb and installed a DSDT from here that works like a charm-all sleep and everything,ALC8xx, Lnx2MAC.
So far soo good.

3-Backed up the installation to other HDD and decided to use 1 HDD for lion and separate HDD for WIN8
(Everything works nice and smooth, but when I am in windows8, if I click shutdown it restarts), so I decided to unplug all mac related HDD and cleanly reformat
WIN8 HDD, I did so , but again when I shut down my pc, just restarts it?!?! I decided that it might be bios something*, so I reflashed bios, reinstalled clean windows, and again... shutdown=restarts, I don't understand what's the problem.

Thanks in advance and if anyone with similar to my setup has trouble installing I would be happy to help too.

i can see a few flaws in your install 1 ioahciblockstorage kext this disables hot plug on your rig 2 nullcpumanagement kext isnt needed 3 your gfx card has known freezing issues search fermi freeze 4 check out my freezing section http://pastebin.com/3qRSXvhm

Ok I will try without the Suggested kexts , but the problem is I completely removed everything connected to osx and installed clean windows on a separate hdd as I unplugged all osx stuff. Reformatted the hdd for win 8 and installed it but again it restarts on shutdown, the i decided to update the bios and cleared the cmos, set all manually- again the same problem, so I guess it's fault of the bootloader or mbr or something..

do a fresh install use boot flag -x just to get to the install then use these settings

Ok Stehor, thank you very much, I will try it tomorrow after I get back home! Cheers!

Ok still no go, I did clean install of 10.8.4., then clean install of Win 8 (all in separate drives with full format), I reset the bios and set up all the things( AHCI, HPET 64 bit) , plus disabled the PME and wake events, even in windows I disabled magic packets and Hybernation and fast start. Still the same problem, when I turn off windows from the button ( software button), just restarts, when I turn off the windows from the hardware button sometimes turns off, but if I push a key on the keyboard starts on, but from the bios post.... this happened after installing dual boot of 10.8.4 and Win8, never had this problem before... the weirdest thing is , if I click - Right corner, settings-change pc settings-general -advanced startup(restart pc) then shut down, it shut normally, If I write in cmd shutdown /s /t 0 , shuts down properly.... I am lost now...

Is the Windows system shutting down correctly (minus the restart issue)? If not this might be your answer. Try turning off automatic restart, might be slightly different for windows 8.

Yes sometimes it shuts down normally, but most of the times just restarts. Last night for some reason it turned off normally... I will try your suggestion, I see you think that some error happens on shut down so it restarts instead... I will try now and let you know.

EDIT: I just tried shut down several times, same thing.. 1st time it shut down normally, second time just turned off the monitor but the cpu fan was still going, and I couldn't wake it with keyboard or anything so I pushed restart, then it just restarted on shut down as before...
