Okay I checked and I am plugged into the video card. I have tired both my VGA an DVI output (using a DVI to VGA converter on the DVI port) and that doesn't seem to make any difference. I have checked the kexts and they all seem to include my device ID. So or there any other options at this point?

What error are you receiving when you try to install?

Okay I'm currently stuck at the moment. I tried both of those options but neither seemed to work for me. The GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No produces a Kernel Panic which I've attached. The  .kext that I found was nvdarwin.kext I believe which already had the device ID. The system seems to be recognizing the video card. I've copied and pasted the Video Card section from the System Profiler. I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

Edit: It looks like the PC may have been plugged into the onboard video card when I tried GraphicsEnabler and got the Kernel Panic. I will double check tomorrow to see what the outcome was when it's hooked-up to the video card, (I remember it didn't work I just don't remember the specific issue). I should also add that using the NVIDIA video card is not necessary as long as I can get the video card on the motherboard to work.

Awesome! this fixed my problem 100% I just reinstalled and did not choose any power management.  I was able to install OSX86 successfully although now I'm having an issue with my display. When I try to preform a normal boot with no flags I get a the loading screen then a blank blue screen. I'm able to boot using safe mode with the -x flag, although this causes small bars to come up all over the active window and dock menu. I'll attach a pic that shows the issue I'm having. I was planning on uploading a screenshot although I can't connect to the network. I have a USB wifi dongle that I know I need to install a .kext for although I'm not sure what I need to do. Could someone help me with this here or should I move it to a different forum?
