Luigi55 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi. Sorry if this is something simple, but I've been searching and haven't found an answer yet. I am trying to install Leopard on my PC, but the installation process fails very early on. As soon as the gray Apple screen loads up it quickly goes black and then my computer restarts. I've noticed that the bootloader is only showing 14mb of memory for my video card. Says something like "Vesa 3.0 (14mb) Nvidia". I've tried using iATKOS v7 (10.5.7) and iPC 10.5.6 and get the same result. I've tried messing with the BIOS settings and had no success there either. If i run with the -v flag, the gray Apple screen doesn't even show up before it restarts. Here are my specs: Intel i7 920 Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P EVGA GeForce GTX 260 6GB RAM If anyone could point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
