After digging around in my BIOS settings I found that the motherboard didn't seem to be keeping the settings for the correct boot drive. I have no idea as to why I needed to do what I did to reset the motherboard to even be able to access setup. I have already planned to update to a Z370...

Greetings everyone. I finally got around to upgrading to High Sierra - with a fresh install. Although the system operates correctly (once booted), I'm having a bit of a problem with booting/reboots (especially AFTER updates). The problem is that my system will post and hang (although sometimes...

First off, sorry if this has landed in the wrong place. I'm assuming that since this isn't build related, etc... that it should be treated as "off topic". Please correct me if I'm in error. I currently have an Unraid server, and the demands on it have grown - it needs to be fixed since it has...

Upon my boot today, the NTFS drive was nowhere to be seen. So a quick trip in and out of BIOS fixed that. I found that a timeout of 10 seconds is too long. For the time being, I have it set at 5 seconds; I may decrease it to 2. In one of the dual-boot threads I remember someone (RehabMan? or...

OK, did that and now it... works. All I can say is WTFsck??? That was one of the things I originally did prior to reinstalling Win7 and prior to reinstalling Yosemite. I got the info for the timeout value from following this thread...

So following the above, I decided to see what would happen if I manually chose the boot drive by using F10. So from a cold boot, I chose the boot drive (P0, which is my OSX drive). Imagine my surprise when I pressed the any key and saw both OSX and Windows NTFS.... I booted into OSX, then...

Yeah, I know - kind of confusing. COLD BOOT Chimera with OSX only. Boot into Yosemite Shutdown COLD BOOT Chimera with OSX only. Boot into Yosemite Shutdown COLD BOOT Enter Bios; Exit without making or saving any changes Chimera with OSX and Windows NTFS Boot into Yosemite Shutdown COLD BOOT...

I followed this: [Guide] Dual Booting Mountain Lion and Windows 8 I also considered looking at installing the boot loader to the EFI partition, but that wouldn't have solved assuming something is a bit skewed in Extra. So.... I reinstalled Yosemite. The Win7 drive was...

My new build has been operating so well that I decided to add a Win7 Pro boot drive to the mix. First off, my system: Z97N-Wifi 16GB Corsair Vengence EVGA GTX760 - 4GB Samsung EVO 840 (250GB) - Yosemite Samsung EVO 840 (250GB) - Win7 Pro Seagate 3GB Sata drive (data dump, to be connected later)...

"(and I can't determine why he's posting in this thread)" Just giving props. I started down the rabbit hole with no graphics cards but added it during the build.

I performed my load using Unibeast with a Multibeast follow-up. I have a GTX760 card installed and disabled onboard graphics in BIOS; no boot switches were used. Can you be a bit more specific (descriptive) on the video issues? Maybe someone else (more informed) can jump in and verify the boot...

I followed the thread pretty much since its beginning. It wasn't until I started having those little "issues" every once in a while with my existing Windows i7-920 workstation that I entertained building a completely brand new box. Until now I have made due with my i3-3220 hack which was setup...

Thanks. Now you have me wondering how the heck I missed that in the first place as I was quite anal about knowing everything that I needed and had to do in the first place..... :oops: would have gained me a few extra hours of sleep too! My backup plan was to install ML anyway. Now if only WOL...

I have installed SL on my GA-H77N-Wifi from the retail DVD using the SL iBoot/Multibeast guide. Following the install of Multibeast I can successfully boot - only if I boot from iBoot. Trying to boot directly results in the systems hanging at the gray apple. I see the same behavior if install...

Believe me, I have been doing far too much searching and I have found all sorts of stuff. I'll look again specifically for the motherboard (I don't even remember if I found my board initially). Wireless isn't an issue since my mini will be serving as a HTPC and will live in my network rack. My...
