Not a 100% smooth transition...first the computer wouldn't boot. I reseated the CPU and everything seemed fine, until I shut down the computer. Then it wouldn't boot, kept getting kernel panics, but before I could get a picture (how do you get a good pic of a kernel panic at the Apple boot...

I picked up a good CPU cooler just to be safe! The CPU cooler I have now works for what I've got, but since I'm changing things up it's not a bad idea to upgrade it too! I will get back to you once the new CPU arrives (should be today or tomorrow) and let you know how the install process goes!

How did you swap out the SSDT??? Do I swap out the processor and just start it up? Or is there a process I should follow? I've got a basic understanding of all this. 5 years later still a "noob" to this! Specifics (even a link to a procedure) would be most helpful! And Thank you!!!!

I have a build from 2011, and she is getting a little long in the tooth. OK in tech terms she's ancient! However, I don't really use her for much, play a few games, surf the net etc. I'm not a power user by any stretch. The lag has been getting worse and worse over time. I tried adding RAM...

1. Which codec? MSI H55M-E33 ALC889/ on board audio 2. MultiBeast 6.2.1 or newer - Select: Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > Without DSDT √ ALC889 Once I try to install audio from MultiBeast I cannot restart the computer. I get stuck at the Apple Boot screen with the spinning wheel. I use...

I have been trying for nearly a month to get help with this. I have NO AUDIO! I don't understand the "instructions" posted above. I attempted installing audio through MultiBeast, and never got any sound. In fact when I attempted to load audio only I would get hung up at the Apple Boot...

I'm sure it's an isolated incident. When I ran MultiBeast I selected the bare minimum for my system, and the restarted. I got hung up at the Apple Boot screen with the spinning icon. I reinstalled Mavericks and tried again, this time I did everything step by step, and it got hung up on the...

Let me clarify. There is only a boot problem when I use MultiBeast to enable sound. I have run MultiBeast for everything but the sound and I am able to boot just fine.

I'm having trouble following this guide. I've got an MSI mobo with ALC889 audio. I cannot load audio through MultiBeast because then I can't boot and have to reinstall Mavericks or restore to prior to the MultiBeast install. Audio is the missing component of my install. Help me fix this...

Forgive me, but that makes NO sense to me! Those "instructions" look more like an outline to me. I just want to be able to enable the audio. Please help!

I finally got around to upgrading to Mavericks earlier today. I was able to upgrade without a problem. However, once I ran MultiBeast I had nothing but problems! Once I was FINALLY (10 hours later) get Mavericks to install again I ran MultiBeast one thing at a time. Everything installed...

The upgrade worked just fine. Then I used MultiBeast and now I am stuck at the Apple screen with the spinning icon. I attempted to restart using the Unibeast drive....and NOTHING! I'm a little freaked out that I can't get it to work. Please help!!!

Thank you for the response, but I actually went ahead and reinstalled Mountain Lion, and then I ran MultiBeast and everything worked fine. Not sure what the issue was, but am glad it was easy to fix!

I can't get sound on my build now that I've installed Mountain Lion. I don't speak jargon so EVERYTHING I've been reading in the forums is complete and total gibberish to me. I get the S/L/Extensions, and the like...what I need is a simplified version that can be taught to anyone. I want it...

I have a Hackintosh build from a few years ago, it's still running great, and is not really that out of date (thankfully). However, I was online and I noticed there's solutions out there to build an all-in-one PC...kind of like an iMac. I was wondering if it was possible to do with a...

Interestingly enough I got the new power supply hooked it up and the Lion USB was still not recognized. I started tweaking the BIOS (carefully) and got the computer to recognize Lion USB but the Lion Installer didn't see the internal HD anymore. After a little more tweaking I gave up and reset...

This is great for getting the computer running with Snow Leopard, what about the problem with installing Lion and the USB not being recognized? Any thoughts? FYI - I can't test anything at this exact moment, the power supply died on the build last night...the fan stopped spinning completely...

When I plug it into my machine it works just fine. I've reformatted it with Disk Utility, and recreated the Install drive with UniBeast, it's just that the computer isn't recognizing the stick.

No I don't have another one, at least not another SanDisk, from what I was told SanDisk is the one I should be using. Advice? Is there a way to test the USB drive?

Earlier this year I built a Hackintosh/CustoMac (whatever you want to call it) using the instructions here for Lion. A few months ago their hard drive died, it was a complete loss, they have been using my spare computer, but now I need it back. Anyways, back to my point. I bought a new...
