JMWRainwater Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 My latest back-up was on May 1st. I went out of town for a few days, only to come back and now the build won't boot past the spinning wheel/apple logo/gray screen. This is particularly frustrating because my audio doesn't work in safe mode and I have to re-enable all the user-added fonts in font book. Any ideas on what happened or why this would be? I didn't install or change anything since the last time I used it, however I did just see that "auto-updates" are checked in the App Store, so I have now turned those off. My rig is as follows: * Obsidian 660T Case * ASRock Z77 Xtreme 4 * i7 3770k * 32gb RAM (4x 8gb) * 2TB HDD, 256gb SSD, 128gb SSD (with Windows 8 already installed on 1 TB, OS X onto the 256 SSD) * 2x GeForce GTX 660 ti 3gb SLI * Dedicated Sound card onboard * Blu Ray burner/Reader 12x * Wifi/Bluetooth Card (which only works on the Windows side of things for now) Extremities: * Monitor: 27" Samsung HDMI 1080p and ASUS 21" HDMI 1080p * Keyboard: SteelSeries Merc USB Wired * Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Note: I've been using 10.9.2 since Day 1 on this build with no problems.

I don't want to have to boot from the USBInstaller each time, I just want to go back the way it was X'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ok, if you system start from USBInstaller, can be a problem with FakeSMC.kext, try reinstall this kext to your system and repairpermissions with Kext Wizard app/reboot if not start, can be a problem with the boot loader, try reinstall chameleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
