xepher Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hey, I've done a forum/google search for the MSI G41TM-E43, and have only seen one post of someone who's actually installed it, and they didn't mention how they got it to install. I have tried iAtkos v7, and XxX 10.5.6, and both wont load the installer, it reboots a few seconds after giving a boot option/or pressing any key. I was going to try Rebel EFI, but i have a IDE DVD Rom. Any help would be greatly appreciated, here's my other specs.

wenter Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Try Hazard 10.6 It seems to work on a lot of tuff motherboards.
