First off, I'm new to hackintoshing and to Tonymac, so if this is posted in the wrong place I apologize but I need help!
Okay so here is my build, It's based on nofilmschool.com's mac pro build.
EVGA GeForce GTX570 HD 2560MB GDDR5 SLI Ready Graphics Card (025-P3-1579-AR)
Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770K
Gigabyte Intel Z77 Dual Thunderbolt ATX Motherboard with BT4.0/Wi-Fi (GA-Z77X-UP5-TH)
Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory (CMZ32GX3M4X1600C10)
Antec CP-850 850 Watt CPX SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS Modular Power Supply
Antec Performance One Series P183 V3 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
SanDisk Extreme SSD 120 GB SATA 6.0 Gb-s2.5-Inch Solid State Drive SDSSDX-120G-G25
by SanDisk
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
LG WH12LS30 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA Black with Software Lightscribe Bulk
Corsair Cooling Hydro-Series All-in-One High-Performance Liquid CPU Cooler CWCH60
TP-Link 450Mbps Dual Band Wireless N PCI-E Adapter (TL-WDN4800)
Syba Low Profile PCI-Express 1394b/1394a (2B1A) Card, TI Chipset
I made a Mountain lion 10.8.2 offical app store boot with Unibeast.
Installed it to the SSD drive, the Spinpoint is just a storage drive.
Everything was good. I ran multibeast and did the standard recommended things, "DSDT free installation, ALC898 Audio drivers, hnak's network drivers, 3rd party SATA, Trim ENABLERS,NVIDIA FERMI >2GB, Graphics Enabler=no
EVERYTHING IS WORKING AWESOME!
Install graphics card.
Motherboard screen comes up, bootscreen comes up, Apple boot logo appears for about a second, and then boom, black screen. Tried HDMI and DVI on multiple monitors to confirm it is not a monitor issue.
Tried "waiting" because I heard sometimes it goes out during boot up but comes back once the desktop arrives. NO DICE!
Noticed my resolution was a little low without the card, not 1080p. Went into misc in multibeast and clicked 1080p. No video card looks, awesome now, but videocard still has same issues.
Read somewhere that the USB 3 ports can cause a power issue, so I went into BIOS and turned of EXCHI or whatever it is called so all my USB 3 ports are now USB 2 ports.
Still no dice.
I would greatly appreciate any advice anyone can lend me, I've taken this graphics card in and out of my system about a dozen times in the last few days and It's driving me, and my SO crazy!
