Z97x freezes more and more frequents!

[basdatch]

Hi there!

So I built my hackintosh like 6 weeks ago with this :

- Gygabites Z97X UD3H BK
- Intel i5 4670K
- EVGA GTX 760
- 2x crucial ballistix 8go

After a few troubles I seemed to have a fine running system, booting without any flags, pretty smooth

but from time to time when I started my computer after one night I would have a system freeze like two minutes after boot. By restarting one or two times I worked but the freezes became more and more frequents and now it seems to freeze at every boot I tried changing the ram to 1333Mhz but it doesn't worked

any idea guys ??

thanks

[SUCCESS]GA-Z97X-UD5H / i7 4790K / 32GB / GTX 760 / 10.9.4

You should find your answer in this thread. I had the same problem. Ended up doing a fresh install and used migration assist to get back up to speed.

thanks I'll look into it, for now I havent freezed ^^ what's weird is that the system seems to boot normally only after I go into BIOS, even if I dont change anything

Hi basdatch,

I started out on a Z87-HD and replaced this board for a GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK.
I'm using a i7 4790.
I replaced the RAM (2 x 8GB) 3 times for other RAM (Gigabyte certified list),
replaced the SSD startup-disk,
replaced the graphics card (GTX760 / GTX670),
tried switching off xmp profile 1, and all other tweaks and MB-settings I could find on this forum.
Multiple fresh installs, OSX 10.9.5, even OS X 10.10.0
With or whithout USB peripherals.

But I keep getting these random freezes!
Did you have any luck finding a solution?

Hope you did finalize your build and give me some tips!

Hi,

After just reinstalling multibeast and CPUNullPowerManagement I believe everything is working fine for now, no freezes after several reboots!

Only thing I'm concerned about now is my keyboard, in fact whenever I plug an USB device in my comp, my keyboard weirdly switches to older vesions, by that I mean that the functions key such as volume, play/next song/previous etc do not respond anymore, as well as my backspace key, btw the numerc pad never worked so if anyone nows something about that can't find it in the forum

Hi basdatch,

After a brief holiday from this frustrating build, I decided to give it a fresh start one more time:

• checked BIOS: VT-d - disabled / WOL - disabled / XMP Profile 1 (for now with Normal - not enhanced - stability)
• removed GTX760 to make sure it's not the graphic card causing the panic
• only used 1 stick DDR3

UniBeast install went kinda smooth. OS X 10.10.1 / UB 5.02 / MB 7.02
Installed MultiBeast kexts one at a time, using KextUtility in between. Keeping it very basic.
After a few hours... system froze again.

(BTW: I updated my Z77X-system to Yosemite with success, it's great)

Next thing I'll do is try (again) with Enhanced Stability setting in Bios.

About your USB-problem: did you set xHCI to Auto (and not Smart Auto) in bios ?
I had many problems with USB keyboard and mouse. System would freeze completely when connecting or disconnecting.

Still, all help / advice is very welcome!
