    Can't reach Yosemite installer

    Hi, Thanks for your reply. Yes I followed that guide. I managed to fix this simply by using a different USB stick. A clean install was needed though, but Yosemite is now up and running! :D

    Can't reach Yosemite installer

    Hi there, I'm trying to update to Yosemite from Mavericks. But after following the instructions and selecting USB at boot up, the installer loading bar only ever reaches half way and then gets stuck. I have waited 12 hours. I have tried with boot flags -x -v -f separately and in combinations...

    Play Blu-rays on the Fly on OS X with Free Mac Blu-ray Player

    According to that website, the free version won't play in 1080p. VLC Player will play blu-rays after adding these files to the library. http://vlc-bluray.whoknowsmy.name/

    New GTX 750s / 750 Tis

    I'd like to know this too. The very low power consumption of 55w is great. It also offers the best performance per $ of any new Nvidia graphics card! It's not mentioned in the March buyers guide. If anyone has tried either of them, I'm sure lots of people would be interested to know if they...

    Xeon E5 - 16 Cores/ 32 Thr Z9PE-D8 WS 12TB GeekBench 28,000

    Thanks for your reply jamesle, I did try those boot flags, but I think it has to be on a higher BIOS for that card to work. And yes, i did update the BIOS properly as mentioned on ASUS support page. It's a mystery why updating the BIOS disables half of the motherboard!

    You could try installing a modified kext i uploaded to post 55 of this thread. Just replace the old one with this one (keep the old one backed up incase this doesn't work). It allowed me to boot for the first time with all drivers installed. Are both your CPUs detected with the 5304 BIOS? Mine...

    NVIDIA Web Drivers for 10.9.x Mavericks Found!

    I'm using a GTX 580 with GraphicsEnabler=Yes but getting very poor performance from it. Final Cut Pro X is very laggy and i'm getting just 18fps on Cinebench. Are these new drivers likely to improve things? Thanks.
