sonser Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 I just installed osx and when I try to boot normally it gets to the grey screen where it shows the apple logo and the circle thing spinning, then all of a sudden the monitor just shuts off and bascially just says that there is no signal, I tried going to safe mode -x and it gets to the same screen then it goes to an all grey screen and just stays there.. I then went into verbose mode -v and it went all the way to the end I guess, it was playing music and it stopped with all the text at "login screen started" or something like that, it recognized my video card in verbose.. I have a ATI Radeon AGP x800Pro and it said that with what looked to me like no errors.. I haven't been able to actually use osx in ANY mode and any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe in -s mode I can change some display config's or something, it's acting like the resolution or refresh rate isnt right, but i've tried on 2 different LCD's and 1 CRT... same thing on all of them... any help is greatly appreciated.. if you need more info just let me know.. thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44393-video-problems-on-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonser Posted March 6, 2007 Author Share Posted March 6, 2007 I know it's something to do with the video card/drivers because I threw an old Geforce 4 MX4000 in there, and the monitor doesn't shut off, instead i get a window saying "please restart yoru computer" with the big power button symbol... and no matter how many times I restart it, it still says that, but i guess that's another story... with my ATI Radeonx800Pro it just stays on the grey screen in safe mode or the monitor shuts off in regular mode....
