Let's start with my build:
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A
Processor: Intel i7 4790K Quad Core 4.0GHz
Cooling: Corsair H100i Liquid CPU Cooler
Graphics: Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB VRAM
RAM: Team Dark RAM 8GB (2x4GB)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 3TB HD
I actually built my rig a year ago with the intention of running Mac OSX on it. However, I put off going through the hassle and just installed Windows. However, I recently started the process that I understandably avoided at the beginning, because it is non-stop roadblock after road block.
Most issues I've run into have had some solution or workaround that I've found online, but the latest one has me stumped. I successfully installed Snow Leopard from a retail disk and got to the desktop. However, after following the instructions here to apply the 10.6.8 combo update, my startup freezes at "[PCI configuration begin]".
The flags I am using are:
GraphicsEnabler=No (because my screen goes black if I don't)
-v
All others I have read with this problems associated it with NVIDIA cards, but I have an ATI card, so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thank you in advance for your help!
