lensboard Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I Just build a Hackintosh for christmas and if i put the lan card in and the computer will not turn on (Screen won't display anything) even when "Onboard LAN" is off in BIOS Hardware: Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L Rev 1.0 BIOS : F8 2 SATA Western Digital Hard Drives (Not in AHCI Mode) OSx86 / Windows Vista 1 SATA HP DVD 1070i DVD Burner EVGA nVidia GeForce 8600 GT 256 MB Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz Remove the card, remove all power (unplug). Make sure MOBO battery is still in, then place a jumper over the pins next to the battery to clear the cmos, then count to 3, and remove the jumper. If you dont have a jumper then, touch both prongs with screwdriver etc., and remove. Turn the machine on, then turn off again. Resinstall the network card in the far slot (or different slot than before), and then turn the machine back on. You should then see the ESCD update message, then you should be golden. If that doesnt work, then you have a bad card. Check my signature, I have the same machine. You will never (well never say never, but prolly not) get bonjour working on the onboard LAN. Check my guide in my signature as well for BIOS settings. Hope this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lensboard Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I am assuming it will get to the BIOS screen. By "turn on" I am assuming that you meant boot into OSX. If it wont even turn on, you may have a more serious problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both of these (board and NIC) in two computers here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
