thanks mate! i am having a little trouble now that its up and running...... random freezing.... im guessing thats maby because of my ram? im pretty new to the hackintosh scene.... i read some where that random freezing can be caused by faulty ram. the ram im using is 2x 1 GB optiplex 745 ram and 2x2Gb 800mhz ram... could the fluctuation in the rams Mhz cause the freezing? thanks in advance

strangely enuff i spent many hours trying to get ML up and going.... i never succeeded!! the best i could get was 10.7.5 with full QE/CI working, imovie n iphoto all working. i have a feeling it may have had something to do with the execute disable bit option in bios, although at this stage i happy to stick with 10.9 DP1 as its almost fully working! will try with just 2x2GB sticks thanks for the reply mate

I need help. I created a Mavericks install flash drive from the App Store Update using MyHack and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] on different occasions, but with the same result: As soon as the Apple Logo shows on the screen, it instantly reboots. This is on a stock Optiplex 745 SFF with 2GB RAM a 320GB hard drive, an NVidia Quadro NVS290, 1.86GHz Core2Duo. Please help!


If it is a CPU problem, I could understand that. after doing an install from a USB drive of a retail Snow Leopard DMG, i got it updated to 10.6.8 and wouldn't download the app, because it said "Mac OS X Mavericks is not supported on this computer." It is really annoying, as I would like the latest and greatest.
