joe_black Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Can you post a picture? Also, try booting with flag "-v" and tell us what that says when/if it stops.

joe_black Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Possibly one of 2 things: 1) You did not install AHCI SATA drivers during installation. 2) Your mainboard is set to boot SATA as IDE instead of AHCI (Change to AHCI in BIOS) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290684-succesfull-install-but-reboots-to-grey-screen/#findComment-1933489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxeyes Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Still no luck did what you said , there seems to be no logic to this, all i get is a continuous spin of wheel for an hour, surely it couldnt take this long to boot ? 1) You did not install AHCI SATA drivers during installation. check 2) Your mainboard is set to boot SATA as IDE instead of AHCI (Change to AHCI in BIOS) check i`ve tried -v also -v -x (no luck) Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me Thanks for your reply joe_black i had to scrap everything bought a new motherboard (secondhand) new memory (strange i have 8 gigs installed and it only shows as 5 gigs) new graphics card Everything is working ProLogic x working fine with focusrite soundcard Will buy new hard drive and install properly Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290684-succesfull-install-but-reboots-to-grey-screen/#findComment-1933553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
