Sometimes my Hackintosh won't go past the loading screen...

[Jeractus]

Hey everyone, I have a minor issue I's like to fix, Iv'e had my Hackintosh since January and it's great, however sometimes it will simply start loading up the loading screen and get slower and slower until it seems to just stop. This typically happens after running windows OS and restarting, however I know that can't be very relevant because I'm running it this morning when I run OS X last.

Here's what it looks like.

Normally when it boots up the loading screen goes past the quarter mark, screen goes blank for a second then I'm instantly at the login screen no hassle.

Specs:
Crucial Ballistix 16GB DDR3 RAM
Intel Core i5 4670K CPU
Gigabyte z87x-SLI Motherboard
EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX 2GB GDDR5 GPU
Corsair CX750 Builder Series ATX/EPS 80 Plus Bronze PSU
Samsung 840 Evo 120GB (OS X & Applications) SSD
Samsung 840 Evo 259GB (Windows OS & Applications) SSD
WD 3TB HDD (Mac Data)
WD 1TB HDD (Windows Data)

Thanks guys, I did have problems with the graphics card when I first started but ran a couple flags to get through it before to get it running properly I think the main one was GraphicsEnabler=Yes which fixed the issue but I'm not 100% sure and can't find my Multibeast initial settings anywhere :/

GTX 760 have native support, so need of the Chimera's graphics injection (i.e., GraphicsEnabler=Yes).

can't find my Multibeast initial settings anywhere :

What you mean this??

Hey, it may be supported but my computer wouldn't work properly without verbose and safe mode until I used them settings, I can't clarify what actual settings I used (GraphicsEnabler etc.) because I haven't got a file save from my Multibeast settings that tells me what drivers I use etc.

Open the file org.chameleon.boot.plist. It will be present on /Extra folder of your OS X installed partition.

Open the file and make changes as below,

<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>No</string>

<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>kext-dev-mode=1 PCIRootUID=1</string>

<key>UseKernelCache</key>

Save the file. Then reboot OS X and check normal booting.


Good Luck...!
