Qtrain Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Been trying for a week and I'm feeling burned out. So I'm just going to ask a general question that I can't seem to find the answer to... I know all my hardware specs, but I still can't seem to get the right customization settings. All I find in all the guides is that the customization part of the install is the most important, but no details on how to figure out the right upgrades. So everything i've tried leads to the same result: the installation works, and when it restarts, it freezes on the gray screen with the apple logo.... So i'm not even asking someone to figure it out for me. I just want to know how someone in my situation goes about in figuring out what the right customizations are... It's one of those "teach a man to fish vs. give him a fish" kinda moments thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/141304-even-if-you-know-all-your-harware-specs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
