RichieUK Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I thought it was all going waaayyy too well! I downloaded and burnt the JAS 10.4.8 pack which all installed as it should but once it rebooted, all it seems to do is go to the grey apple loading screen and then present the "Restart your computer" dialog. I've tried reinstalling it several times choosing different options but it always seems to go the same way. Here's my machines specs: Custom PC Motherboard: Jetway 865pedap.html http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/865pedap.html Processor: 2 x Intel Pentium® 4 2.8ghz Hyperthreaded RAM: 512mb HDD: 233GB Maxtor Its a bizarre spec I know but its an old machine that was custom built a while back by our IT support at the company I work for. After reading through the forums here I haven't been able to find a solution so I though the best thing would be to take a screen shot of the errors (in verbose mode). Now I can't see anything really going wrong here but it doesn't seem to want to boot: Link to photo: http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc179/d...23062008194.jpg As I say, I'm not really sure what is going wrong. First thought was the graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 4000) but it still finds this ok. I've ordered a new graphics card as I was going to upgrade anyway, the NVIDIA Geforce 7300 GT 256MB PCIE after reading up on it on a Lifehacker guide. Hopefully I've got enough info there to go on. Anybody know what might be going wrong? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112369-installs-fine-but-wont-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poco Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Look up just below the count you have two errors. One extension failed to load and a module. Then further down your display failed to start. When looking at it you can see that all of the errors are related to the graphics (NVDA). What I would do is check your card for compatibility (there is a list somewhere on this site), then if it is make sure that you have selected the correct drivers on the install screen. iPoco Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/112369-installs-fine-but-wont-boot/#findComment-795333 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieUK Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Yes I saw that error and then a bit further down it seems to initalise the graphics card alright. From the looks of it it seems to start one display and fails on another. The Geforce 4000 only has one monitor output so I assummed this is what that meant.
