GLucas Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 So I've installed iATKOS S3 v2 on my Asus G5VT-X5 laptop but after installing it doesn't boot the OS, but shows just the _ symbol blinking on a black screen, like nothing really starts. These are the specs: Processor 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P7450 Memory 4GB, 800MHz DDR2 Hard drive 320GB 7,200rpm Chipset Mobile Intel PM45 Express Chipset Graphics 512MB Nvidia GeForce 9800M GS I made sure to setup the Nvidia graphics options and the cpu=1 thingy during the installation. Did I miss something? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226345-black-screen-with-_-symbol-just-blinking-post-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pop in the Iatkos dvd and install a boot loader under the "utilities" menu Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/226345-black-screen-with-_-symbol-just-blinking-post-install/#findComment-1572623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
