I tried installing Yosemite on a small PC I had built for home use after reading up about Hackintoshs. Low and behold, it worked fantastically pretty much off the bat with Unibeast/Multibeast in Legacy mode as long as I don't install USB3 drivers - they seem to work anyway.

  • i5 4570 (with a 4790k in the wings waiting for stability)
  • Gigabyte Mini-ITX GA-Z97N-Gaming 5 (latest Firmware)
  • Intel Graphics
  • Firewire 800 Expansion Card
  • RT2870 WiFi
  • 8GB RAM

The mobo only has 2 slots for RAM being a mini, as soon as I drop in the 2nd stick of 8GB (matched) I get random freezes. I've ran memtest with Rember and the RAM it's self throws no errors, and some times runs for hours, sometimes 1-2 minutes. I increased the voltage to the RAM and this seems to fix the problem - until I mess around with a USB port which instantly freezes the system. I pull out the 2nd stick and all goes back to being rock solid, whatever I do to it, it's flawless.

The RAM was taken from a separate system that has been working fine for over a year, I don't believe the actual RAM is the issue.

Does any one have any ideas? Is there a way for me to log the freeze? I never get any kernel panics (or the writing over the screen everyone else seems to have with an issue).

Thanks
