shaun5380 Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 thanks mate! i am having a little trouble now that its up and running...... random freezing.... im guessing thats maby because of my ram? im pretty new to the hackintosh scene.... i read some where that random freezing can be caused by faulty ram. the ram im using is 2x 1 GB optiplex 745 ram and 2x2Gb 800mhz ram... could the fluctuation in the rams Mhz cause the freezing? thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290246-dell-optiplex-745-successful-109-install/#findComment-1929048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like a Boss Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I don't think so, but try to use only 2x2gb but don't forget that is a developer preview and u might experience such things as freezing. How was your build under ML? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290246-dell-optiplex-745-successful-109-install/#findComment-1929490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun5380 Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 strangely enuff i spent many hours trying to get ML up and going.... i never succeeded!! the best i could get was 10.7.5 with full QE/CI working, imovie n iphoto all working. i have a feeling it may have had something to do with the execute disable bit option in bios, although at this stage i happy to stick with 10.9 DP1 as its almost fully working! will try with just 2x2GB sticks thanks for the reply mate Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290246-dell-optiplex-745-successful-109-install/#findComment-1929564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmandras Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I need help. I created a Mavericks install flash drive from the App Store Update using MyHack and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] on different occasions, but with the same result: As soon as the Apple Logo shows on the screen, it instantly reboots. This is on a stock Optiplex 745 SFF with 2GB RAM a 320GB hard drive, an NVidia Quadro NVS290, 1.86GHz Core2Duo. Please help! If it is a CPU problem, I could understand that. after doing an install from a USB drive of a retail Snow Leopard DMG, i got it updated to 10.6.8 and wouldn't download the app, because it said "Mac OS X Mavericks is not supported on this computer." It is really annoying, as I would like the latest and greatest.
