Hello everyone.
First off thank you so much for all the work that you all have been doing.
secondly ( new to forum ) so not sure if this post belongs in this thread.
I've been attempting to install snow leopard onto HD ( PC ) for the last week but keep running into problems. i've looked in the other threads to resolve the issue but unable to do so.
i have a retail version of snow leopard dvd 10.6
ASUS P7H55-M PRO LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD2500AAKS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ( previously had windows 7 running on it. wiped clean using Darik's Boot)
EVGA 01G-P3-1450-TR GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card ( think this might be the issue )
Intel Core i3-540 Clarkdale 3.06GHz 4MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80616I3540
4 gb of ram
dvd drive.
I changed settings in bios to allow cd/dvd drive to be booted 1st.
changed settings for Sata AHCI in bios.
Problem
i insert iboot cd then take it out and put snow leopard cd. ( press f5) then the osx cd info shows up and i press enter ( tried using -x also same problem occurs ) after a few seconds a white apple screen displays and i see it loading. after about 30 -40 seconds it shows that i need to restart my computer by holding down power button.
Please if anyone is able to help i would deeply appreciate it . Thank you ( if this is wrong thread for this issue can some1 kindly direct me to the correct one please.)
