glimpster Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I can't describe how easy it was to install with this board. If anyone would like a tutorial, let me me know. I had the edit the OSX86 wiki to say this board could do 64 bit SL. The 5870 didn't require a kext. After the graphics update it just recognized it. Only one problem... After restarting or shutting down from Windows, it freezes at the bios logo. To fix this, all I have to do is manually shut down with the power button and quickly power up again. Then it's able to post and boot again to either OSX or Windows. I do not have this problem with SL. Booting after restarting or shutting down from SL is not a problem. Just Windows. I boot into Windows 7 x64 from a separate drive, where I can make the decision from the bios boot menu OR the EFI boot loader. I get the same problem regardless. My suggested culprits are the DSDT, voltage settings (memory), bad (incompatible) memory, etc... By default, the board clocked the RAM at 1066Mhz. Brought it up to 1600, which is the memory's standard. Any ideas? I added the drive and installed Windows after I had completely set up SL. Should I reinstall the DSDT... reflash bios? Thanks.
