JesseWHHS Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Here are my specs: taken from my newegg order a few years ago. I think the Hard drive might be different, but that doesnt matter as far as I understand. Also I have an external WD My book, 320 gig via USB. that works just fine on OSX. RAIDMAX RX-450YX120 450W ATX12V Power Supply - RetailItem #: N82E16817152024 Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - OEMItem #: N82E16822144701 SAMSUNG 16X DVD±R DVD Burner With 5X DVD-RAM Write Black IDE Model SH-S162A/BEBN - OEMItem #: N82E16827151121 Rosewill R905E-W Black 19" 8ms Widescreen LCD Monitor - RetailItem #: N82E16824021045 OCZ Gold GX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) System Memory Model OCZ4002048ELGEGXT-K - RetailItem #: N82E16820227063 AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2.0GHz Socket 939 Dual-Core Processor Model ADA3800BVBOX - RetailItem #: N82E16819103562 POWERCOLOR TV/FM Tuner Card T55-P03 PCI Interface - RetailItem #: N82E16815117801 XFX PV-T73G-UDF3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - RetailItem #: N82E16814150145 ABIT KN8 Ultra 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - RetailItem #: N82E16813127222 So I bootup, see BIOS load screen, then the boot loader that Leo4All 4.1 installed. I let it boot normally to OSX. I see the grey apple with the little spinning thing on the bottom, after a little bit, the monitor goes to sleep? Like the button turns red like when PC is turned off. A few minutes later and it all comes back up and I see the OSX desktop. I have got everything to work perfect so far. Just this delated bootup is pretty annoying. I have the 7600GT running to the monitor via a DVI - VGA adapter. Card is DVI, monitor is VGA. I've read some stuff about DVI analog and DVI digital. Could that be related to my cause? Sorry but I'm very new to all of this. I consider myself an expert on Windows so maybe I get all of this stuff figured out.

Nick14 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Boot in -V -F Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/174629-99-working-hackintosh/#findComment-1200097 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseWHHS Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Well I just tried that and same thing happened. Booted up PC, saw BIOS, then boot selection. did the -V -F and continued on. Then it goes black. A few minutes later it boots up as usual. Does that give us any clues maybe?

Oppi0815 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I got a similar problem, when one of my 4 hard drives was faulty. OS X (and also Windows 7) just hangs for a while at the boot up and is waiting for a reply of the hard drive. Finally OS X gives up waiting and boots up, after a long while. When i take the hard drive out, the boot up is quick again. Maybe in your case OS X is also waiting for one of the components to respond?

JesseWHHS Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hmm.... Well I do have a TV tuner card in my PC that I no longer use. I'm not even sure if it still works. I'll take it out and update with what happens. well it wasn't the tuner...
