The Iliad of Installation Issues. (video card)

Recommended Posts

Hi there. I had iDeneb 10.5.8 on my machine for 6 months. Everything

was working fine until I left the laptop running for three days. When

I can home the screen saver was frozen. I had to do a hardboot.

 

After hard boot the OS would not display. I was stuck with a blue

screen of death.

 

I managed to get into safe mode and back everything up. Then I

installed a kext that I figured would restore the display. That kext

did not like my machine and ultimatly I was stuck with a blue screen

of death in both normal and safe mode.

 

Being that it was about time to get on to Snow Leopard I saw this as

an oppotunity to upgrade.

 

Sadly every time I have tried to install the retail Snow Leopard disc

I am stopped by a GRAY screen of death!

 

I have tried multiple flavours of Empire EFI, something called

Universal Boot and even custom bootloaders with settings for my

machine. I even have tried to use a different version of the retail

Snow Leopard. Nothing works!

 

Each time I try I am stuck with a gray screen of death before the

installation screen.

 

I have tried to enter GraphicsEnabled=Y when bootloading and still

nothing.

 

Is my card toast? (even though I was able to get in safe mode in 10.5.8)

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks for taking a look at my problem
