    CustoMac 2012 Buyer's Guide - My First Build

    PSU Sparked, now no longer functioning.

    I'm somewhat new to the forum. Seeing this thread, though about 3 weeks old, I wondered, if the PSU was two weeks old, is that within the warranty period? If you can't return to the seller, perhaps you can contact the manufacturer. You probably replaced your PSU, but if the manufacturer...

    Bad mobo or dated UEFI?

    I'm wondering what I did wrong. I have fruitlessly spent maybe 20-30 hours trying to get OSX Mountain Lion to boot from the hard drive. I found a "how to use Multibeast 5." webpage followed that--result: a crash. I have checked and double checked my Multibeast 5.2.0 settings, read the...

    MultiBeast 5.2.0 (& everything) mystery

    3. HELP. The system doesn't boot from the hard drive. If I thought that I'd started from the hard drive at 2 a.m., it was wishful thinking. I see the apple screen with a wheel that stopped turning after 30 seconds. I have tried this seven ways 'til Sunday. Won't boot from the hard drive...
