Hi everyone!
I currently have a problem during the process of installing El Capitan. I have successfully created the bootable USB drive and i also can get to the Clover Bootloader where i can select to boot from said USB drive. The thing is that as soon as i press Enter, the screen goes black and never recovers from that state and i never get to the OS X installer. Not even the Apple logo shows up, which is supposed to come up instantaneously.
What I have tried (none of these things have gotten me any further than the black screen):
I tried different USB drives, both USB 2.0 and 3.0. Also switched to different USB ports.
I tried different HDDs where I want to install OS X.
I tried different graphics cards (HD5870 by default and later switched to GTX760).
I tried different video output, first HDMI, then VGA.
I tried to boot in Verbose mode, yet i don't get a single line of text.
I tried different BIOS settings, these are my current settings (running latest BIOS).
My hardware:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 rev. 2.0
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo @2.66 GHz (LGA775)
GPU: PowerColor Radeon HD5870 1GB
RAM: OCZ PC2 6400 DDR2 16GB (4x4GB)
What could the problem be? I saw a thread where someone successfully installed El Capitan with this exact motherboard model. I don't even know what I could try at this point since I have tried alot of things. Any help is appreciated.
