Modifying "Slugnet's Video Editor" Golden Build. My first Hackintosh.

I would say either you have some bad hardware or something is not installed correctly. Does your motherboard have any LED outputs that will give you hints on what is going on?

The motherboard has a power button and it's orange when I plug it.
I double checked all the connectors and hardware installed to the motherboard. All is ok and i could say the is no visible issue on them.

Al last, my hackintosh arrived!

I'm installing it, but i have a big dude: What goes where? Is it correct?

No offence, but this has to be one of the most self-explanatory motherboard connectors I've seen.

• +- HDD LED -> BLUE +HD-
• POWER SW -> RED +PW-
• RESET SW -> GREEN -RES+

Yes.

• + PLED -> YELLOW + MSG
• - P LED -> YELLOW - MSG

No, PLED is Power LED. The white one on the right bottom. Minus on the far right, plus on the third from the right (big plus sign). And yes, that leaves a pin in the middle. That's ok.

That shouldn't stop your computer from booting though. Start unplugging things, remove everything that isn't essential.

Sorry, i forgot to write that I plugged it in the right possition.

I unplugged the front USB, firewire, front and rear fan.
Now there is only the CPU and his fan, RAM and NVIDIA... but it doesn't boot.

I uploaded some photos. If you have time to watch them...

Any audible beeps?

Things I would check:
I would recheck that your ram is properly seated.
Make sure video card is properly seated.
Verify cpu is in place and locked in correctly and the same for the fan.
Verify that all power cables are snug and secure.
Verify the little LED, audio, power, etc. cables are in there proper positions.
Verify that the power supply is set to the correct voltage setting.

It's ok.

CPU is in the only one position it can be and the fan is connected to CPU fan.

Verify that all power cables are snug and secure.

All ok.

Verify the little LED, audio, power, etc. cables are in there proper positions.

All the cables I plugged are ok.

Verify that the power supply is set to the correct voltage setting.

There is no way to change voltage settings. Corsair TX750 makes this automaticaly.


When I try to boot i noticed that there is an orange LED in "B_BIOS"

Well, there's your problem right there. You haven't plugged in the 4/8-pin power cable from the PSU. Top left corner.

Oh! stupid me! I didn't saw this cable! I thought it was another pci-e cable.

Thank you very much. Now installing Mountain Lion.

HERE IT IS ! My hackintosh is running!
I have some issues, anyway.

GOOD
• It runs.
• Geekbench =) 13.638 at 64 bits
• Nvidia card dresses perfect to Davinci Resolv. Just tested but not with a REAL work.
• Blackmagic Decklink is OK
• Two monitors connected to the ATI that I already own works perfectly
• Enough space to my Internal Super RAID 0
• Front Firewire 400 and Firewire800/400 PCI card works perfectly.
• My fornt fans have LIGHT !


BAD

• Intel CPU's fan is ear-splitting !
• I don't know how to activate HD4000 If it works i'll sell the ATI.
• eSata PCI card doesn't want to run. *
• I shut down my "Monstruo" but it reboots again...

I have to say Thank you to all of you! I never thought it was possible.


EDIT: * Multibeast is our best friend ! eSata works!

After all this time working with my "Monstruo" I have to thank you for the help I received from you,

THANK YOU.
