james341 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hello My name is Ofir and I'm almost thinking going to Apple Store and buy me a new iMac ....after 20 cups of coffee and without a lot of sleep I'm still sitting near my computer and breaking my head what am I doing wrong with this installation and I am hope that here I will be able to get the help I need to complete all the process. So what I have in my basket : 1. Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3 2. Memory: 2 x8gb sticks from corsair DDR3 1600 3. Processor : Intel Core i5 4590 Haswell 4. Case : XIGMATEK MACH 5. PS : XIGMATEK 500W 80 PLUS 6. HDD : WD 1TB SATA 3 + WD 500GB SATA 3 7. SSD : 2x128Gb I was trying first using the manual here : http://www.tonymacx86.com/yosemite-desktop-guides/143976-[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]-install-os-x-yosemite-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html No Mather what bios setting I changed I always got after the boot screen a "Snow" on my screen like in the photo : After playing with my input source in my monitor and back to the HDMI I got into the setup page. Most of the times my setup got stuck in the middle and I only success 1 time and I was able to get into the setup an account after first boot but my machine got stuck in the "setting up your mac" screen Aldo I had my mouse pointer moving , nothing happened. After a reset button I was able to get into the login screen (Aldo I got the "snow" screen again) and my next step was to use the "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]" tool to install all the needed drivers . The strange thing is that without the "[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]" I had a great resolution and Ethernet connection and after using the recommended settings I found and a reboot - I've lost my network connection and nothing helped. So I decided to start from the beginning all over again and now I can't even rich the setup page and get all the time a Karnel Panic no Mather what boot flags I'm using. Please ....if there's anybody out there that have the same motherboard and can help me, it will make me happy like in the moment my son was born...

jesusrop Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi, I have somewhat similar hardware and I had problems with sleep. In the end, I had to cange one RAM stick, even though it passed any test I could do with it. I found out it was the RAM because in windows I also had some ramdom sleep problems (not as often as in OSX). I would also suggest you use clover. I found it had better hardware detection/support, at least in my case.

VCH888 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have the same board as you have and I use Clover for UEFI booting. Please see my example and learn how to use & edit Clover's config.plist from http://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Home and searching for Piker-Alpha’ ssdtPRGen.sh for your CPU. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/295549-clover-config/?p=2013292 P.S. Don't connect HDMI port for each OS X 10.10.x update. If you connect HDMI, it will restart.
