I have a hackintosh I built using a tutorial I found here. Its been working great for over a year and I keep it up to date. However after upgrading to Yosemite I noticed that iMessage wasn't working. I followed a tutorial that told me to add some module to the extras folder, delete some preferences in the library, and reboot. Upon reboot my computer crashed at the yosemite startup screen- my screen just went black when the progress bar was about 50%. I then realized that I couldn't access BIOS at startup either, F12, DEL, etc didn't do anything although I know the keyboard was working because I can type commands once Chimera loads. After Chimera loads I can access startup options but my Unibeast drive and a Time Machine backup also won't get me through a startup successfully.
Can I save this wreck somehow or do I need to do a clean install? Can I even do a clean install if I can't access BIOS? I could really use some help, kinda freaking out because I need this computer for work.
