Nick vezmar Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Hey guys, So I just purchased a brand new laptop called the Acer Aspire 5745G-7671, and I've been trying most every outlet to put OS X on this, but I seem to be running into some troubles. The specs are as follows: Intel Core i3-370M Processor PM55 Chipset 4GB DDR3 SDRAM 500GB Hard Drive Double Layer DVD±RW Drive NVIDIA GeForce 420M (switchable with Intel HD) Atheros WiFi + Ethernet I tried a retail Snow Leopard install (with 10.6.3), and basically I can't get the thing to boot without going into safe mode, a non-safe mode boot gives me a KP. Verbose mode gives me some random codes, and when looked up most forums point to bad RAM. Also won't let me boot without a ForceWake=y at the Chameleon menu. I tried iDeneb 10.5.8 Lite, and it would boot and install just fine, however video is not working and any outlet has basically sent it into a KP. iAtkos just will not boot at all, neither will iPC. Both POST Diagnostics show that there was a RAM failure. I ran a memtest for about 6 hours, with nothing being found, so I was highly doubting RAM. But with all these circumstances, I'm starting to think it's a RAM issue. Any opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
