jrs4life Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Hey all, I just installed OSx86 on my pc at home with a dual boot to XP. However, when I boot up OSX, it constantly asks me to reboot my pc. I'm not too sure, but could I have incompatible hardware. Here are the specs on of my system (it's an old budget machine I built while at university and have since made some small upgrades) Athlon XP 2000+ (socket 462) Elitegroup K7VTA3 motherboard (I know, its {censored} but I bought the computer when I was on a budget) VIA® Apollo KT333 North Bridge VT8367 VIA® VT8233A South Bridge 256 MB DDR 2700 Ram Asus nVidia GeForce 4MX 440 SoundBlaster Live Value Maxtor 40GB Hard Drive (master)(this is the harddrive I partitioned to get the dual boot) Maxtor 250 GB Hard Drive (slave) LG DVD Rom (master) LD DVD +/- RW (slave) Also, I'm looking into getting a notebook computer in the near future. I'd love to be able to dualboot XP and OSX on this also. However, I'd like to get OSX working on my desktop as a test first of all. Thanks, Jay Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3640-os-x-keeps-asking-for-restart/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtatic43 Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hey buddy, unfourtanetly your cpu does not support SSE2... can not operate OS X x86 never say never! i got the same error message, my screen turned green and it asked me to reset. the solution: use the -x parameters when booting to activate safe mode. the first time i did it my computer shut off randomly, the second time though worked like a charm. after the first time you boot the parameter wont be necessary Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3640-os-x-keeps-asking-for-restart/#findComment-23621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axalon Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 No, you really can't. AthlonXPs do not have SSE2, only SSE, and you can't do anything, trust me (I have a Intel Celeron S [Pentium III core] and it just won't work) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3640-os-x-keeps-asking-for-restart/#findComment-23763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
