Hell all I am having trouble getting to the install point of Mountain Lion. My USB thumb drive works fine and I am able to boot off of it. I select ML install from the BootLoader. I get the Gray Screen with the Apple and the spinning circle. Then the screen goes black and I have to hard restart.
I boot using PCIRoot=1 GraphicsEnabler=No NPCI=0x3000 NPCI=0x2000 and every time it looks like it is working it will then go to the black screen. I have read many of the threads here and I dont see anyone else having the same issue.
Has any one experienced the same problem? I did read that the Video card should be in slot 1 but I cant do that becasue of my radiator from my water cooler blocks the first slot. I would think that if it was a video problem it would not even show up. I looked in the BIOS to see if I could set the second slot to the main slot or disable slot 1 but I dont think it is possible.
My Specs are.
3820 Sandy Bridge-E 3.6GHz
32GB Corsair Vengance
250GB Samsung 840
Corsair H80i
ASUS Rampage IV GENE
Thank you for any help.
