verdant Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 darwin loads fine, get to silver apple screen. after 2 minutes i get a your computer needs to restart.. i dont know what to do, help please intel core 2 duo 6700 evga nvidia 680i SLI 2x evga geforce 8600gt 2x 500gb sata 2 hard drives 2x 1gb ocz sli memory 800mhz Hi there Firstly, on NForce chipset MOBOs like your MOBO you cannot run OS X with 2 nVidia GFX cards installed (does not matter if in SLI mode or not)....... Secondly, are you using a SATA or PATA DVDRW and SATA and/or PATA HDDs....? Thirdly, are you using a PS/2 or USB keyboard AND mouse (see below)....? For Intel CPU and nForce chipset MOBOs check out the excellent threads by Mysticus C* http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87901 and http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=109102 Kalyway seems to work for most people most of the time.....since you have an NForce chipset MOBO you cannot install vanilla i.e. stock kernels....... Or try iDeneb v1.1 10.5.4......See my latest blog entry on how I installed it on a SATA HDD on a 650i nForce chipset MOBO..... If you follow Mysticus C*'s guides carefully they should get you going OK...his guides and updater packages have got me up to running 10.5.4 on a 650i MOBO with a Q6600..... If you need further clarification on each step read the Kalyway 10.5.2 (IMHO the preferred choice because of giving no SUIDs errors) and iATKOSv2.0i 10.5.2 install guides in my blog......other forum readers and members have posted saying that it helped them install OS X successfully, e.g. on an Asus Striker Extreme 680i nForce chipset MOBO.....both Kalyway 10.5.2 (see here posts by icemantaz) and iATKOS v2.0i 10.5.2 (see posts here on pages 81 and 82 by sQuadron)...... Starting points: Use a USB keyboard AND USB mouse....in your BIOS Set SATA as "AHCI" or Serial-ATA Configuration [Enabled] depending on BIOS SATA options Execute Disable Bit [Enabled] ACPI APIC Support [Enabled] ACPI Suspend Mode [s3] or [s1] or [s1 and S3] Also, until you have a fully operational OS X system always boot with -v at the "boot:" prompt......this way you will see any errors during booting........
