[SUCCESS] P1LGRIM’s Progress Build: i7 4770K - GA-Z87X-UD3H - 16GB RAM - GTX760

[bigmacs]

Ok. Hint taken.

Can you at least point me in the right direction to figure this out? I know you don't have to do anything for me. I don't want to come across as entitled. I won't push the issue any further.

Thanks for all your help

It's hard for me to give definitive advice on this because I have never experienced the freeze problem.
However, these guides / threads may help you :

Thank you so much.

Also, another thing to mention about the freeze issue, it seemed to happen very soon after sleep. Not sure if that changes anything.

Also, great links, I will definitely check them out and read them thoroughly. Can you recommend a place to start in terms of adding the correct settings for Clover's bootloader? I.e. this:



Thanks again. You're a huge help!

Also, out of pure curiosity, what's your day job? Or are you a student?

Try disabling sleep completely and see if it has any effect.

I used the settings in the http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/144426-how-install-os-x-yosemite-using-clover.html guide initially.

Best advice is make small changes and only change one thing at a time, that way you can assess the result of the change and choose to accept or reject it before moving on.

One thing that may or may not have a bearing on the issue is the ATX4P connector.
I had the lead available so I plugged it in - I doubt that it has an effect but I just thought I'd mention it.

Thank you! If I'm able to get all this stuff working and stable (say, for a month or more) I may consider putting together a guide on here to give back a little.

Thanks

Accidentally shut off the power to my PC on the breaker in my apartment. Ever since then have been getting random freezes. Do you think this is a coincidence? Or related? When the freezes occur, nothing is shown in the console log. I'm thinking it could be RAM-related as you mentioned. I notice when I use XMP profile 1, it bumps up my GHz on my processor above advertised values. I'm wondering if that's to blame?

Power problems can affect the CMOS settings - I would suggest a reset to be sure things are ok there.
I wouldn't attempt to use the XMP profile 1 until you have a stable build without it, that way you can tell if that is what is causing you problems.

Also, repair permissions on your boot disk.
