StrongWind Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 First I had iPC version of Leopard some time, I was happy with it, but when I saw I can install retail version of Snow Leopard using EmpireEfi and myhack, I tried that and it worked. I installed it as I remember with no problems. This was few months ago. One day, like 2 weeks ago I turned off my hackintosh and the next day I saw progress bar at the start. It was strange why it appeared but I waited a little bit more, after progress bar dissapears at gray apple boot screen, the computer just turns off. I am not able to fix it, because I also don't know why is that happening. I thought about Disk repair in Disk utility so I tried to boot apple retail dvd with empire efi like I booted it when I first installed it few months ago. Another problem appears... When I booted the DVD (I also tried booting with -x, -v, -f, -x32, cpus=1 etc..) it booted fine, but after boot just gray screen appears with a mouse pointer and it just stops there. I can move it, when I try to move it changes from pointer to loading cursor and again, nothing happens after waiting for 1 hour. I tried to boot iPC again, it boots fine and then I can't move cursor. Now I have 3 problems, trying to fix any of them 2 weeks unsuccessful, everything worked before and I don't know what more I can try to fix that. BIOS settings are ok because I haven't changed them. If someone can help me that would be nice, because I really now don't know what to do. Thanks. Wireshark Cookie Dump: OKCancel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O and A Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hey I have same mobo. The only thing I can think of is maybe a hard drive failure or ram failure. Since you say you didn't change anything and its very weird you're not able to boot even with boot disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
