ubiquidos Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I'm installing 10.4.8 on my home built PC. its an AMD 3000. Everything went cool with the install. After I installed it, It rebooted and the monitor keeps flickering on and off. I have an analogue connection with an Nvidia 512 mb video card 6800 series I think. (edit: it is a GeForce 6600 512 Mb) So, I rebooted. same thing. So, I rebooted again. IT WORKED!!!! the screen wasn't flickering. I was surfing osx. I went to install final cut pro and when it came time to register the serial I couldn't find my serial. SO I went walking aroudn the house and found it in the living room under the wifes magazines. When I came back the PC was in "standbye" and wouldn't come out of it. Sad.... So, I rebooted. now I'm in the endless cycle of flicker on, off, on, off at random intervals and length of time. When it flickers "on" it sometimes flickers to a "blue screen" and other times "to the OS" At the selection menu to install I picked all the appropriate things to make it "work" Its probably a driver issue. I read somewhere in these forums about getting the model number of the card or (code of the card) and inserting it into something? any help? Sorry for the spelling. okay....so I rebooted again and it is working now.... ehh... edit again... back to the flickering. I installed FCP and it of course wanted me to "reboot" so I did and now I'm back to the flickering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 1. You have to flash 512MB video cards to work. (Check out user Aqua-mac and the link in his signature to his great work on flashing the video card.) 2. You have to turn sleep off in energy saver preference panel.
