    Sierra Stuck Loading

    Spoke too soon. Went all the way to installing Sierra with 18 minutes to go. About 3/4 of the way, it reboots. Now I can't install even after I set the flags I originally did from the forum solution. Back to square one. Grrrrrr

    Sierra Stuck Loading

    Found the solution under BIOS Forum. I upgraded my version to F20 and that's what causing the reboot issue. Thanks goodness for the forum.

    Sierra Stuck Loading

    System appears to load and reboot itself. I've attached the video and hopefully someone can help. I pick the hardware that was in the approved list. click here for video I took for verbose output.

    Sierra Stuck Loading

    Hi, I have the same problem. Just bought Gigabyte Z170WIFI MOBO. Follow the procedure outlines but stuck at loading. The bar doesn't even move on mine. I've attached the output at boot time. Thanks for your help.

    How stable is your system?

    That's strange that I don't see too many questions about stability. Thanks for sharing.

    How stable is your system?

    For those running 10.7.2 on Sandy Bridge, is your system stable? The reason is that after a few weeks, I notice that my Safari would just freeze with the spinning wheel while checking my emails or just plain browsing after about 15-20 minutes. The other day, my son tried to use iMovie and it...

    Check out Antec ISK300-150. It's small, solid and pretty quiet. I use Intel CPU heatsink and it's working fine.

    I have the same setup with apple USB keyboard and mighty mouse. Bluetooth wake doesn't work and keyboard wake will cause your USB to not working. At this point, front button may be the best option. BTW, do you have any issue with Lion recognizing your keyboard during your installation? My...

    I thought I got rid of the white line artifacts after fixing the graphics voltage but it pops up once in a while. Changing the onboard memory doesn't help either. I just bought a USB 3.0 hub and hook up to the back connector. Got the power but no connection. Anyone else got this problem? USB2...

    You need to run MB 4.0.2 Lion version. Check out Gordo's Lion install step-by-step guide.

    My build uses Antec 150W PSU and it's working fine. My idle power is between 45-50W and when I crank Prime to test for highest power, I see mine goes as high as 120W. My box doesn't have a graphics card nor a dvd player just 2 HDDs. I am happy with it.

    I'll be curious to see if you can get the full resolution in Cinema and audio via HDMI2DP. Let us know if you are seeing any video performance because it's higher than 1920x1200.

    Yoohoo...Do we finally have a possible breakthrough for the annoying white lines. Let us know if you are successful with changing the voltage. I am sure many of us are anxiously waiting... Thanks in advance.
