- After a week or so, I started having that issue randomly, too. I think I may have found a fix, though. Make sure to boot -v (verbose) so you can see all the messages that lead up to the KP. Try & take some pics & share. For me, it'll happen a couple 2-3 times in a row after I add or remove new devices. Sometimes booting with -f (I think that's "forget kernel cache") seems to fix. BTW, If I use a standard SSD, I **never** have any KPs on boot. I am suspecting it may be something with the M.2...?? More research...Let's tag-team this one.
- Make sure that your speakers are connected to the correct audio port. You need to be connected to the middle one in the row closest to the PCIe slots. Since none of your audio options are grayed out, they should be working. If it wasn't working, there wouldn't be anything showing up on either inputs or outputs.
- HDMI audio is a bit of a different beast. Check out Toleda's posts & detailed instructions on how to get this working.
- In Clover Configurator > ACPI page, there is a checkbox for a "FixShutdown". That's worked for me & should take care of it.
- You will not see anything in the system info about any of the TB hardware if nothing is plugged in & working. This has been a known issue all along. Nothing to worry about.
Thanks for the comments. I'll keep you posted (esp. re #1).
Unfortunately, I think the mobo died the other day and I'm waiting to hear back from Gigabyte.
Here are the symptoms, in case you know about this:
- It's been running since mid-February: Mac OS X and Win10
- Yesterday, I had run it earlier in the day, and had done some GPU tests with Heaven (Unigine) benchmark -- it was running great!
- Powered it down
- When I went to turn it on in the evening, nothing happened. No fans, no nothing - except the little red power light on the motherboard (PW_SW; pg 22)
- Tried a different PSU, to no avail.
- Tried the normal "remove video card", "remove RAM", "check for mobo shorts" -- all to no avail
So -- I think it's the motherboard as it's failing before any onboard checks/tests run (the "debug led" never even lights up).
(I know this isn't right place for this discussion - but I would appreciate any pointers/suggestions you might have. )
Thanks,
