Instead of changing my signature (which holds my other Hackintosh details) I'll let you know here: Samsung RV520-S01 CPU: Intel Core i5-2410M Speed: 2,3GHz Chipset: Intel Mobile HM65 4 GB RAM (1x4) Nvidia GeForce GT520M 1366x768 15,6 inch display 640GB HDD Broadcom 4314 Wireless (not...

Hi guys, my Samsung RV520 is currently running Mavericks and almost everything runs smoothly, I only have 1 real issue I cannot seem to be able to resolve, I can't boot from the internal drive! I need to use the USB install disk to get it to boot. If I try to boot from the internal drive...

Hi there! I'm planning on building a Core i5 2500k based system but seeing as this will be a workstation for digital audio I was planning on disabling Speedstep in BIOS as that is a major issue on Windows based systems and I want the CPU to always run at full (stock) speed. I would also disable...

Hi johnf, I'm not convinced it's an application you installed, if it messed up the ioPCI kext it was a messy app indeed but I'd expect to see loads of other issues? Just try some benchmarking/ testing suite to see if it can find out what's going on.. BTW; what do you use to make your beats...

just try taking the usb out as well, just in case.. You can also test your computer hardware (like memory) with something like this: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/

or do it as sudo in terminal sudo su (login as sudo) cd /Volumes/<name of partition/ drive> pico com.apple.boot.plist (open it in an editor) in the editor you can move around using the arrow keys and edit the file, then press, in succession: CTRL+X (to quit) Y (to save) ENTER (to confirm) If...

First thing I would do is enable TRIM if your SSD supports it, I've had something similair like this on a Mac Pro using a non-Apple SSD. TRIM is only turned on for Apple's SSD's by default, you have to apply a patch manually, it's described on this page...

johnf, I don't know if you're already reinstalling but try taking out PCIe cards 1 by 1 on a cold boot (or start with all of them removed) Is your sig still correct? I was thinking of reseating the videocard but that would mean reseating the processor :lol: the ioPCI does seem to point to...

Re: New install keeps getting corrupt on multiple disks I found the problem, it was a faulty RAM DIMM :D I'm now testing the remaining 3 just to be sure but things are looking good, it didn't just throw 1 error, in about 10 seconds Memtestx86+ found 20000+ errors! No wonder all installations...

Re: New install keeps getting corrupt on multiple disks thanks for your reply Jester.. However, as far as I can see, Unibeast/ iBoot is only necessary to install retail on the actual hackintosh, enabling one to boot the retail disk in the first place, it doesn't do anything else as far as I'm...

Re: New install keeps getting corrupt on multiple disks How do you mean it will NOT work? It has worked? I can boot it? I didn't clone my Macbook installation, just installed retail USING my Macbook Pro, then used Multibeat to make it bootable and add the necessary kext files? Can you tell me...

Hi guys! I created this build: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 Intel Core i5 2500K 16GB RAM (4x4GB) Nvidia 8400GS Samsung 1TB Seagate 3TB I installed the system on my own Macbook Pro so it was completely vanilla, I then put the disk into this computer and booted using rBoot CD. This worked straight...

Re: Noiseless NVidia 8400GS 512MB | Working but no QE/CI Solved it! It was (of course) my own fault.. I edited the plist in NVDANV50.kext as root using the Terminal and pico, thinking I wouldn't need to run Kext Utility to repair the permissions WRONG!!! I added the device ID, ran Kext...

Re: Noiseless NVidia 8400GS 512MB | Working but no QE/CI BTW, if it helps, here's my org.chameleon.boot.plist: <dict> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string>...

Hi there! I recommended Tony's CustoMac Pro build to a friend of mine and he bought it except for the videocard :( Instead he chose a much cheaper NVidia 8400GS Noiseless card which, seeing as he wants to use it as an audio workstation, isn't too bad and looking around it seemed to be...
