Having problems with white screen at install of 10.9 Olarila way.

Hi!

 

I tried to install Yosemite Olarila way, and I got in, I got sound, I got LAN working, and I had my graphics card working as in it found it, detected exactly what version loaded kexts and everything.

 

But, it was choppy as hell. Like, when the welcome screen came up, it flashed white over the screen till it was loaded, then when I wrote in username and password, it took 5 seconds before it showed up.

 

I could however watch YouTube videos on it, for some weird reason, so I wonder if QE/CI actually worked, but there was something else wrong.

 

Anywho, since I used 14 hours straight to try to fix that, I gave up.

 

Then I tried to install Mavericks the same way as Olarila described, as it actually worked for Yosemite for me.

 

I never got to the "Choose Language" screen. White screen, I can see my external HDD blinking (as in working, loading files to the RAM), then it stopped, started again, then throttled down and nothing else happened, could not use the Caps Lock or mouse, so it cut power to the USBs.

 

So not the traditional white screen, as I got mouse. If I ran it without -v I got the Apple and the spinning wheel, and it stayed when I got the mouse cursor up, then it locked itself like with -v.

 

I tried all boot flags possible. I also deleted all ATI* and AMD* kexts in S/L/E of the install medium, no difference.

 

My current specs (sig is not up to date yet):

Intel Core i7 3930k 3,2GHz @ 4,06GHz

16GB Kingston HyperX 1800MHz

Intel 530 SSD (install target, worked with Yosemite, but choppy graphics)

AMD Radeon HD 6970 (Cayman XT)

Asus P9X79 PRO (ALC898, worked in 10.10, Intel 82579V, worked in 10.10)

 

Cheers for all help :)
