rayman121985 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Hey all, I finally got everything working good except sleep or when it idles for a while it freezes when trying to log back in or the circle volleyball will just spin. Anyone know why when left alone for a while it locks up and keeps spinning? I am using MOUNTAIN LION. Is it due to power issues? Any help would be helpful! 16GB Gskill Ripjaw DDR3 1600 memory 2TB WD SATA HD 64GB SSD Crucial eVGA NVIDIA GTX 670 2GB Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) QUAD CORE GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 The specs worked GREAT on Lion. At the time though I was using a i5 thats the only difference. This was a clean install from scratch. This is what is does when left unattended for a while... Or at certain intervals it might decide after using it for a certain amount of time...I think it has to do with power management? As you can see the ball will start spinning and it won't unfreeze until reboot. Please let me know what might be causing this and if so what I can do. If its DSDT related please help me find the right file for my specs above. I don't want to make a bad selection and make my mac unbootable. THANKS!
