Your Hackintosh runs sluggishly and experiences frequent crashes.
I've set up Hackintosh Yosemite version 10.10.1 completely, but it runs sluggishly and keeps restarting when idle. I suspect the issue lies with the graphics card or its drivers. After testing with Novabench, my CPU scores high while the graphics encounter errors, halting tests and returning a zero result. My system specs include an Intel Core i7 4790K, MSI GTX 970, and a 16GB RAM setup. I've downloaded the NVIDIA drivers for Yosemite but they're disabled via a flag—preventing the Mac from booting normally. Is there a way to adjust BIOS settings to disable the graphics card and rely on integrated graphics without removing it? Any tips to improve performance and stop the flashing? One tool that doesn’t cause issues is Razer Synapse.
Connect your monitor directly to the motherboard instead of the GPU.
