Hi folks. Long time lurker here. Great site and great forum!
Looking for some help. I have a Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 board with i3-550. 4 GB RAM. SATA Bluray, SATA HD. 500 GB.
I can boot via iBoot, swap over to my Snow Leopard DVD, hit F5, and it goes through about 4 minutes of the blank white screen with the Apple logo in the middle. Mostly seemingly doing nothing, though there is lots of DVD LED activity.
Then it changes to a slightly different blank screen with the Mac spinning mouse cursor, and then it shuts down. I mean, the computer powers itself down suddenly and completely, right during the spinning cursor thing. Every time, and I've tried dozens of times now.
FWIW, after I switch to the Snow Leopard DVD and hit enter, I never see the long scrolling text (that kind of looks like DOS) before entering into OSX installation. It goes right to blank white screen with Apple logo in the middle.
I have tried:
1. Switching between USB and PS2 keyboard.
2. Plugging and unplugging USB mouse.
3. Removing ATI 4650 PCIe video card and going off built in Intel HD graphics DVI port.
4. Yes, ACHI mode and 64 bit HPET thing.
5. Yes, DVD on SATA 0 and HD on SATA 1.
Any ideas? Thank you!
Frustrated,
Bravin Neff
