dj_myk Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Why is it when I am trying to run the install on 10.4.6. I have the following specs Dual Core LGA 775 1.8ghz Intel Chip Shuttle FD30 Shuttle Mainboard Intel 945GC express + ICH7 Award BIOS 2GB of DDR 2 Memory Radeon X330 PCI Express Graphics card but has Onboard Intel Graphics 950 I am running 2 Sata hard disks, one Western Digital 250GB and one Maxtor 160GB. My Xp partition is on the Maxtor disk and is installed and working ok. I have segmented off a 30GB partition on the second disk for the Mac OSX install. I am switching my Hard Disks so my second one take priority for installing osx. I boot off the disk and it it gets to the grey screen with the apple and the spinning lines, then it boots to the blue screen and at this point the hard disk and the CD drive light up like there is activity......... then nothing. No mouse cursor. any ideas. I am going to try running the install with the -v switch to see if that works The thing is earlier in the day I had it running after installing it off this same disk but my graphics card did not work correctly so switched to the onboard and it then would noot boot after that, so now trying to reinstall with the onboard active and being used cheers Mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67396-blue-screen-on-install-startup/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_myk Posted October 23, 2007 Author Share Posted October 23, 2007 well I have a few versions in my posetion I have version 10.4.4 version 10.4.6 version JAS 10.4.8 and version UPhuck 10.4.9 I get differnt results with differnt verions version 10.4.4 - Boots of the CD and does the above, sits at the blue screen with no cursor version 10.4.6 - Boots of the CD and does the above, sits at the blue screen with no cursor version JAS 10.4.8 - Boots of the CD installs and completes, then on loading shows the grey screen with the spinning lines and then goes to a blue screen with no mouse cursor and version UPhuck 10.4 - Boots of the CD installs and completes, then on loading shows the grey screen with the spinning lines and then goes to a blue screen with no mouse cursor. The {censored} thing is I had it working this morning but my ATI radeon x330 pci express card is not supported by osx and I only get 1024*768 res, where as the onboard should go higher. So i swapped over the cards in the BIOS and rebootted and it hung at the blue screen even after a few restarts. GRRRR Its so anoying Mike Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67396-blue-screen-on-install-startup/#findComment-478445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Here's the solution, when i got it i was really pissed of swearing at my x86 pc!!OK, Pressuming you guys have a laptop1. Get a staple, leave 1 end like it is and bend the other 1 out2. Cut the side out which was unstreched and make it equal to the other 13. Look at the mini-diagram saying M: put the pin in from 2 last hole (on the bottom row) to the last one on the middle row.

Oasys Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I tried changing a few bios settings, booting with the options you provided etc. None of these options worked. I will try using a different video card in the morning. I appreciate all of the help. Im not sure if this would be of any help, but I keep getting this message: Error: USB Notification: The device "EHCI Rest Hub Simulator" 0xfd000000 has caused an overcurrent condition. The hub it is attached to has been disabled Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/67396-blue-screen-on-install-startup/#findComment-480636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
