Hello guys,

i'm wiriting these notes to better understand why my 4870 freeze with dual monitor.

Installed elcapitan, latest clover, audio by voodoohda, i5 750, 4870 (dvi vga hdmi dp)

 

If i boot osx with one monitor plugged in, i can reach the desktop and all is fine

If i boot with two monitors connected, i can reach the desktop randomly. Sometimes it reboot before reach the desktop and sometimes it reaches the desktop without problems. When i'm on desktop with 2 monitor, i can see in display properties that both are correctly identified (models, resolution and frequency). When i'm on desktop with 2 monitors randomly the system freezes and reboot, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after 2 hours.

 

 

To sum up:

Single monitor connected: every boot is fine, i can alway reach the desktop and system doesn't freeze during utilization

Dual monitos connected: boot is fine randomly, for exemple after 3-4 creashes it can reach the desktop. Freeze and autoreboot during utilization

 

I can't find a solution. I've been trying to solve this problem since 1 week.

 

Do you have any idea?

Thank you
