hecker Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Installing OSX86 is not as simple as installing windows. Check the wiki's HCL to see if your hardware has been tested by other users. If so, you will probably find bits and pieces that will guide towards what needs to be done in order to get your hardware to run (if at all). Installing OSX on a PC takes a lot of patience and experimentation. I suggest you seek the help of a geek friend to help you run scripts, modify file permissions and understanding the lingo. I'm sorry I can't be of any more help, since I have no first hand experience with your hardware. - hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113207-cant-figure-out-how-to-make-it-work/#findComment-801187 Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 If you have windows, download and run an app called cpu-z. It will tell you if you have sse3.

hecker Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Boot in verbose mode (put a -v at the darwin boot screen) and see if you can find any error messages.
