antiuser Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I just installed 10.6.3 from a retail disc on my desktop and everything was working fine (had to update one kext for the ethernet because it was running super slow with the default), so I figured I'd run Software Update. Well, it installed the updates, but when the computer restarted, all I saw on the screen were large blocks of colour, as if my graphics driver was screwed up. Is there any way I can roll this back, or boot into the command line and somehow replace the graphics driver for one that works? Here's my system specs: Motherboard: BioStar P43D3 Processor: Pentium E6500 Dual-Core RAM: 2GB DDR3 PC1066 Graphics Card: ASUS EN8400GS (NVidia 8400 chipset) Ethernet: Dynex DX-102 This is what my desktop screen looks like (flipped because I took the pic with Photobooth from my MacBook Pro) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangten Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Try booting in safe mode: At the Chameleon screen type -x Maybe you can get in and reinstall your old kext from kext.com. I bet your update might of overwrote your previous kext with your cards Id in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
