Update: Did some research on this issue tonight. It looks like this is a known issue with the facial recognition feature in iPhoto on the z97x-ud5h. After opening iPhoto for the first time, the computer reboots within a minute of logging in.
Here's the steps I took to break out of that reboot cycle:
I'll repost here if anything changes.
- Booted into Recovery HD from Clover
- Opened up Terminal and added an underscore to all iPhoto Libraries
- Removed the iPhoto Photo Analysis Launch Agent from /System/Library/LaunchAgents:
Code:rm -rf com.apple.photoanaysisd.plist
- Rebooted and ran successfully for 90 minutes until I shut it down. It was previously auto-rebooting within a minute.
Hello,
I realize I might be late to the party on this thread, but I think I may be of help for your "auto- rebooting" issue:
I had the same issue when I started using the Photos app in Sierra. It seems as though the app uses a substantial amount of processing power when analyzing photos that it imports from iCloud, and Gigabyte boards do a terrible job at managing default voltages for this generation of processor. As a result, the processor overheats which causes the computer to shut down and endlessly reboot.
My suggestion is to use the Intel Power Gadget to monitor your processor temps when doing any "processor hungry tasks" if your temps peak above 70C, then your motherboard is over volting your processor, and you need to turn down your VCore voltage in the BIOS (it's set to "Auto" by default). In my experience, it works best when it's set around 1.140v - 1.145v.
Manually setting your VCore voltage will prevent your processor from overheating, and hopefully fix your rebooting problem. Hope this helps!
Update: I switched back to using google chrome, less crashes and I uninstalled any plugins, also note I have adblock on safari which may be contributing to all the crashes. So I'll take off that plugin and see whats going on. Not sure what my next step will be, probably play around in safe mode and see if the crashes are occurring, perhaps going to try and fresh install.
Something else that came up that I haven't mentioned is loss of audio when the computer goes to sleep. Bluetooth works fine when waking back up, but audio through my audio interface or through my audio out from the computer stop working when the computer wakes back up. So not sure what's going on there.
Overall I'm happy with the build. One thing that is bugging me and I wonder if it's an issue with the audio driver; when I installed the audio driver and restarted my computer, I had a pixelated YouTube screen and heard hissing from my headphones. This is gone now but it's something that would occur often in Mavericks using google chrome, and my computer would crash at times with that. I had not seen it on this build till I used that driver.
