wiregen Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 hi everyone, My bad axe 2 board went south and I purchased a P5K deluxe board it's awesome! However, for the past 2 days I'm having such a hard time to get this board to boot normally. Here is my specs P5K Deluxe (bios settings s-ata as AHCI, disable j-micro controller, No overclock) Q6600 8800GTS 640mb 4gb ram Kalyway 10.5.2 install DVD -OSX installation will comeplete and go through fine. However when I boot up the apple logo appears then a blank screen pulls up. There's a signal I know. I did swap the DVI switches around but same thing. - Booting through -x and EVERYTHING works. It detected my marvell ethernet, my realtek ethernet, sound and even my graphics! It would load 1920x1200 but system profiler shows no CI/QE. - I tried the vanilla kernel and the other kernals on the kalyway 10.5.2 but I would always hit this brick wall. - I even installed everything with no drivers and it would boot and everything would work until I used the NVinstaller or the Punk92's installer. I would end up with a blank black screen. I think everything works but the gfx card giving me a headache. I was reading on forums to do an NVinject but I still get the blank screen. I dual boot to XP to play games and this system was working 100% when I was running with my bad axe 2.

wiregen Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Update: I installed leo4allv3 - I get the same thing. I hear the leopard welcome sounds but no screen. I installed the correct kexts on the NVinstalled, made sure. I have an 8800gts 640mb. I still dont get any screen but again, going to safe mode I was able to boot natively 1920x1200 I reformatted again. Installed 10.5.2 kalyway without ANYTHING. Manually reinstalled the drivers and I was able to get everything in 1024x768 but the time I installed NVinstaller blank screen. Reformatted again, tried with the ver 3.0 and 2.0 with punk 92's installed. Blank screen I did it for leo4all same damn thing. I'm really at my ends here. All the components are working since on my other HD I have vista 64 installed and definitely everything is working 100% http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=69132 - This is basically the same motherboard but I'm still stuck where i install the g80 drivers.

wiregen Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I was reading somewhere I have to edit my EFI strings even after the NVinstallers? Why would I have to if the drivers area already built into the installers? Anyone?....as so many active users in this forum noone replies Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109836-asus-p5k-deluxe-blank-black-screen-on-boot-but-x-works-fine/#findComment-779929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
