Volcacius Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I think you answered by yourself: 4850 is not supported yet. Maybe you have to wait for a bios update.

Synaesthesia Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 The 4850 will still work with osx86, just with no acceleration. BIOS won't do anything. Sorry that I can't help with installation on your motherboard though, it's a brand new thing so it's still very tricky - no guides or anything yet.

JaE-V Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Sounds like your board if i'm understanding correctly, contact gigabyte. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/139730-problem-with-ga-ex58-ud5-mob/#findComment-989850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoloBear Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I am not sure, but there is a gigabyte boot bug if you set IHC 10 to AHCI and the jmicron to IDE, then you get no boot, you get bootscreen but after memory init. the darn thing hangs.... check bios, disable jmicron aka onboard ide, or set it to ahci.

devDelay Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Having the same problem. No post. Hex error 69 to 6F. Fast short continuous beeps. I have G.Skill PI ram (F3-12800CL8T-6GBPI- I've updated the bios to F5 (2/29/2009) I've tried the ram in 1, 3, 5 and 2, 4, 6. All sticks are good but bios will only post when two sticks are in slots 1 & 3. Any ideas? EDIT: CPU retainer had a bent pin. RMA'd it today.

saxman314 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I've been through a lot with this problem. 2 UD5 motherboards, 2 920 chips (thanks to gigabyte customer service not knowing {censored}), 2 power supplies (thanks to PC Warehouse's advice). THE RAM WAS THE PROBLEM. Try new RAM, preferably of a different type or speed. I got the 1066 RAM that was rated for the 920 chips originally, and my system would not post. I just put in 1300 RAM and it works great. Typing from this system right now. (Vista... Kalyway works, but I've been unable to install retail OSX so far.) Good luck, to anyone with this problem. I know from experience, there's not much of an answer on the internet right now, so hopefully my cluster{censored} can be someone else's answer! Having the same problem. No post. Hex error 69 to 6F.
