O. Frabjous-Dey Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi everyone, Recent Hackintosh builder here. I picked up the EVGA 8800GT Akimbo from eBay, a factory-overclocked video card, and installed the standard 8800GT driver from NVinject. But I have problems! About half the time, this happens: It will put me at the login screen with no problems, but when I log in, the first thing I see is the taskbar, all in black. OS X continues to boot up for a couple seconds, then freezes so hard that I can't turn off the system without flipping the switch on the PSU. The weird thing is that I have it dual-booting into Vista, and it works great in Vista, with all the bells and whistles turned on and really high FPS in my games. Any ideas? Does this sound like a driver issue? Anyone else have problems with the 8800GT Akimbo?

O. Frabjous-Dey Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I think I've fixed it: although the symptoms were different, the diagnosis is probably the same - corrupt cached drivers. For future reference to anyone with this problem, I fixed it using the instructions here.
