kundica Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Oops. When I talk about PM i'm referring to the CPU. I haven't started to worry about PM on my GPU yet. SMBIOS will impact my CPU PM. So there's 2 issues here... 1) If i connect 2 monitors with MacPro6,1 in 10.10.2 with Nvidia web drivers I get a boot loop and 2) If I use MacPro5,1 i no longer get a boot loop with 2 monitors but my CPU PM is not as good.

Maybe your CPU is trying to use ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext instead of X86PlatformPlugin.kext. If you look in IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins you will see both of those kexts. in X86PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/ you will see Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6.plist which is the MacPro6,1 board ID. If you look in ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin.kext/Contents/Resources/ you will see MacPro5_1.plist. Here's one thing you could do that might possibly work, using the MacPro5,1 SMBios: -Create Mac-F221BEC8.plist and put it in the same folder as Mac-F60DEB81FF30ACF6.plist. -Copy MacPro5_1.plist to a safe location and delete it from it's original location. -Clear the kernel cache, reboot, and cross your fingers. I'm not 100% sure that will do the trick, but it's worth a shot. Also, you might be able to avoid doing this with an SSDT for power management (This would have to be separate from your current SSDT, use SSDTPrGen).

Austere.J Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 MacPro6,1 with web drivers, my MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G, and 10.10.2 results in endless boot loops with more than 1 monitor connected. I use 1 monitor through DP and the other DVI. My system was fine with 10.10.1, but anything after(including both security updates with current drivers) is broken. I tried removing any HDMI audio edits I had in my SSDT, but that didn't matter either. MacPro5,1 and web drivers work fine with both of my monitors connect, but it messes up my power management a bit on my 3930k. Any ideas? Same as my MSI GTX970. Using iMac15,1 SMBios will also cause endless boot loops with more than 1 monitor connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPants Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thank you ALL so much for this thread! It helped me so much. I couldn't figure out why my computer was giving me errors sometimes and not on others. Finally, one of the times I booted, I put in the code maxmem=4096 (along with a bunch of others) and everything booted fine with multiple screens. Then I didnt realize which code it was that got it to work... After reading here I learned that the kernal cache wasnt happy with all my memory and that I needed to clear the kextcache. I remembered the boot argument maxmem=4096 and BOOM! got right in. Then I cleared the cache and BAM! this thing is working just fine! I am so happy that I got this thing working thanks to your help A note on slow boot times: If you don't need your thunderbolt fully functional, you can boost your boot speed immensely by deleting the following kext. /System/Library/Extensions/AppleThunderboltNHI.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPants Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Okay, it was working fine for about a day. Now it is starting to get a little screwy. It restarted on its own and upon reboot it said that the computer "shut down because of a problem". (My macbook pro has been doing this same thing as well). So I rebooted the computer and it gave me the "No" symbol. So I rebooted again with maxmem=4096 and I got right in. Then I cleared the kext cache and rebooted and it booted in fine. I had to restart my computer because I installed some software. The software wasn't anything serious that would have messed with the hardware and it gave me the "No" symbol again. Rebooted with same arg as last time, cleared the cache again and booted back in. Worked fine. Then, I had to log out and log into windows (on a separate drive). When I left windows and booted back into OS x, my mouse was not working. But I changed ports and it worked in another port...but its functionality was not 100%. I tried to see if it would work itself out by rebooting and I got the "No" symbol again. This time it wouldnt boot with the maxmem=4096. I used maxmem=4096 -x -v -f and that got me into the computer. Which brings us up to date on this moment. I am going to move forward to see if I can get this worked out. But I figured I'd post back here to update and potentially gain some clarity. ------------------------------------ From what I understand, thunderbolt still works without that. In which case I'm not sure what it does. BTW does this apply to boards that don't have a thunderbolt card installed? Mine is "thunderbolt ready," but I don't have a card (I don't think there is a compatible one anyway). I feel like my boot time is slower than it should be sometimes though. I have thunderbolt built in on my board. I don't even use the thunderbolt on it, so I can't speak to whether or not deleting that kext will disable it or not. --------------------------------- Okay, now while typing that last message, my computer went into sleep mode and then restarted on it own. From the bootloader screen I simply entered into OS without adding the previous boot args and it booted right up. Upon entering the OS, it gave me the same error message from before saying that "Your computer was restarted because of a problem."

le0nardwashingt0n Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hi everyone, I asked this once before and didn't get any responses but I'm hoping someone can help me out. What Apple SMBIOS should I be using? I'm currently using iMac 13,2. I have a i7-3770, 16gb 1600 RAM, and an EVGA GTX 970 on a Gigabyte Q77M-D2H mobo. Is the best SMBIOS for my system?

If you are using Clover (which I assume you are) there is a magic wand in on the right hand side of the clover window when the SMBIOS tab is selected. This will help you decide which to choose. I am not 100% sure that I did it correctly myself, but I used the system definition that had the closest to my CPU. For example: I have the i7-4790. The only system that had that same chipset was the iMac 15,1. So I chose this one. You is the i7-3770 which is an 1155 chipset. The systems that carried the 1155 were the iMac 12,1 .. iMac 12,2 .. iMac 13,1 .. iMac 13,2 The 3770k was released in April or May of 2012. The corresponding system that came out with that was probably the iMac 12,1 or 12,2 I would assume you could safely choose iMac 12,2 as your system definition because the 3770 was implemented in the 2nd quarter of 2012 and I don't believe they released the 3771 until early 2013. Although I could be wrong. I hope this helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm asking because I have a slow boot related to the 970 that I can't figure out. I just tried the suggestion to remove the Thunderbolt kext but it didn't make any difference.

McPants Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I can't really speak to whether or not it will play nicely with the 970. I'm not even sure if the video card plays a role in choosing system definitions. I am basically just assuming that the chipset would be the priority target in choosing the definition. Everything else from there is probably just a work around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurqn Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I would like to share one update for EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX2 owners. I was purchased that card from Amazon and noticed that bios of card wasn't updated to latest one. As a result on 10.10.3 I was getting black screen with stock bios with DVI output. I have flashed it with latest available bios which also can be found on techpowerup (84.04.31.00.83) and DVI output works now. I will test other outputs once I receive pre-ordered Benq BL2711U, it's 4k beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aergan Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Got my Zotac GTX 980 AMP! Editon yesterday. Had to reinstall OS X Yosemite as I was testing beta OS X updates before and it would not even let me get past a login screen with nv_disable=1. In the end, I had to use pacifist to install the web driver, reboot then do a normal installation over the top (fixed preference panel and loaded the Nvidia driver). So far I have 3x displays working: Samsung @ 1080p/60Hz (HDMI) Samsung @ 1024x1280/60Hz (DVI) Samsung @ 1024x1280/60Hz (DP -> DVI) So far, I cannot get HDMI audio to work. OS X version: 10.10.3 Using driver: 346.01.02f03 Clover version: 3202 I've tried with and without HDMIAudio.kext (which I didn't need for my GT610 but did for my former GTX 770) Any help is greatly appreciated.

abece Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Having a minor issue with this card I just got, it's the MSI GTX 970 100 Million Edition, which is essentially a Gaming 4G in a different color.Can output through HDMI and DVI-I, can't test DP since I don't have a capable monitor, but I can't output through the DVI-D port just get a black screen.The port is not dead since it outputs from boot up until before the OS X login screen, don't really know what to look for in boot logs or ioreg to find the issue. My specs:GA-Z87N-WIFIi5-4690kMSI GTX 970 100meOS X 10.10.3Latest webdrivers 346.01.02f04 using SMBIOS iMac 14,2 Anybody having similar issues with this or any other model or brand of graphics card? Any insight is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
