I've got my BIOS configured via your recommendations - Power Management, etc., all set to fixed values (not Auto), etc. I do not overclock.\r\n\r\nMB is GA-Z77X-UP5-TH with BIOS version F11. Processor is Intel 3770K. Only running SSD and optical drives at the moment. I have an [Apple WiFi / Bluetooth card in PCI carrier from OSXWiFi](http://www.osxwifi.com/apple-broadcom-bcm94360cd-802-11-a-b-g-n-ac-bluetooth-4-0-with-adapter-for-pc-hackintosh) which identifies my hardware fairly well.\r\n\r\nOne weird thing -- when my UPS is connected via USB, I'd sometimes get spurious errors when my loving screen appeared that my UPS was nearly out of power, and then the dialog goes away nearly instantaneously after the login screen appearing.\r\n\r\nNone of this ever happened for nearly three years running on this hardware with a lot more drives (HD and SSD) plugged in, etc. Machine would have uptime measured in months. That install was Yosemite running largely with TonyMac's approach to Clover installation.\r\n\r\n[Crash dumps uploaded](https://www.dropbox.com/s/fri2nanwnredq9y/Archive.zip?dl=0) in case you can help analyze the problem. Greatly appreciate your help with all of this!\r\n\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/theracermaster/Gigabyte-GA-Z77X-DSDT-Patch/issues/comments/152043557","html_url":"https://github.com/theracermaster/Gigabyte-GA-Z77X-DSDT-Patch/issues/19#issuecomment-152043557","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/theracermaster/Gigabyte-GA-Z77X-DSDT-Patch/issues/19","id":152043557,"user":{"login":"mickelsn","id":15273114,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/15273114?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn","html_url":"https://github.com/mickelsn","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/mickelsn/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-10-29T00:57:06Z","updated_at":"2015-10-29T00:57:06Z","body":"OK, did a three-hour exhaustive test of RAM with MemText86 v6, all tests, from a bootable CD. Only ran from one processor core on my 3770K, not across all 4 plus the HyperThread-enabled \"phantom\" processors. 100% clean - zero errors.\r\n\r\nI've got the UPS plugged in again to see if that makes any difference in things...basically, I'm in a \"watch and wait\" mode to see if I start crashing randomly again. Hopefully not, and it was just some transient after applying the OS X 10.11.1 and other updates. I suspect it might have been, because I forgot to hide the \"Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2\" before running all available updates for the OS and iTunes.\r\n\r\nAlternatively, it might have been BIOS setting problems -- somewhere in the midst of the crashes, I dropped into BIOS and noticed that some of the settings had reverted to \"Auto\" instead of enabled, so I went through the whole BIOS configuration process again. Maybe that did the trick as you noted above.\r\n\r\nFor now, I'm going to close my issue since I can't re-create it. Thanks for the suggestions -- and for all the hard work on this script to keep users of a couple-generation-old family of motherboards up to speed!"}}
