bertybassett Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I tried another install last night this time without the Nivdia laptop drivers and it completly failed to install. Right at the end the laptop stated contact supplier unknown error. Does anyone have any further ideas I could try, someone must be able to help, please. I am so desperate that I am even thinking about purchasing an iMac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCane Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You need to turn speedstep and the second core off in the BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertybassett Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 thanx for the reply but as stated above both have been disabled but still no go. Any more suggestions. I think the weird laptop Nivida video driver maybe the problem . Others with a D620 that have intel graphics work fine. Are there any D620 Nivida based laptop owner that have this working? If so what did you do that I'm not please help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertybassett Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Seen as my Dell is a non-starter then I might have to purchase a new iMAC if they drop the price after the Mac show next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertybassett Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 So with no replies I would image there is no one with the Nvidia GFX card that has this working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSn1™ Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Press command q and click on quit. This also happened when installing some quicktime updates. The setup just looped. Pressing command q quitted the setup, and solved the trouble. You can also boot in safe mode and cancel the setup, that should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
