zorb Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi all I have an ASUS P5LD2-VM mobo, and an Nvidia 6600GT PCI Express card. All went well - i made the partition, installed OS X np's. One problem however: I installed using my 6600GT, which obviously has limited driver support (have installed macvidia drivers). I would prefer to use my built-in GMA950, but when i switch over to it in the BIOS and boot into OS X, i get a 'blue screen' (it just sits there). I tried going back to the 6600GT to get into OS X (which worked) and installing the 'GMA900' .pkg file off the install DVD - but didnt have any luck. I know i did this ass-backwards, but does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your valuable help all - without this forum i would have never got the beast up and running at all! -zorb Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/18640-success-with-1046-question-re-gma950/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
enb14 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I had that problem, you will need to flash to the latest BIOS, it worked for me with my intel D945GNTL.

zorb Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thanks for the reply - but I am already on the latest version of my BIOS (29/05/06). An update to what i have tried: I have moved the GMA950 kexts from the 10.4.6_Disabled dir, and added the GMA950 kext to my boot.plist file - but still run into the same problem.

errandwolfe Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 A shot in the dark, but have you tried actually physically removing the video card from the system and seeing if you can boot then?

zorb Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Reinstalled with 6600 out of case - and all is good. The minute I pop the 6600 back in - i get the blue-screen-on-boot in OS X...
