EasyRyder Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Have you tried EFI strings for the BFG 768MB 8800GTX i have not how would i go about doing that , i didnt want to invest time trying to get the videocard to work if i was going to have to reformat the whole os. how ever if i can get the sound and lan to work with out reformatting then i would like to get started by getting the video card to work.

EasyRyder Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 EFI studio would do itGoogle is your friend Training wheels are off You will be able to fix the audio & lan too, without re-installing, all it needs is research Thanks for the tip on EFI Studio. I was wondering, why would it be that I install KEXT's and the system is unaffected Thanks for the tip on EFI Studio. I was wondering, why would it be that I install KEXT's and the system is unaffected i believe ive damaged this install beyond repair, it gets stuck at the " transfer settings from another mac" screen now i really need to know which install guide is best for x58-ud5 and follow it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/203958-snow-leopard-installed-however/#findComment-1369399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
