Hello all, I've been having some problems recently with nvda exceptions and I was reading on forums about the problem. One user suggested changing your system definition to Mac Pro 5,1. So I opened multibeast and attempted to change the definition, I rebooted, and I could not boot normally without a panic. I went into safe mode and I figured that each time you install from multibeast you need to reinstall all your drivers again (correct me if I'm wrong). So I did so and now I can't boot into anything, not from my unibeast drive, not with any boot flag, nothing. I think I had a conflict between fakesmc and CPU power management (read something on that in the forums). I even deleted both Kexts from the computer. No dice. I'm probably doing something wrong when I install my drivers in multibeast since I've had this problem before.

Is there any way to fix power management without a full reinstall? I kind of have a few important files in my machine. Thanks so much in advance for the help.
 
Actually, I think my biggest problem is that, the second time around, when I installed all of my drivers again, I installed CPU power management drivers from multibeast. I have a modified UEFI from the BIOS repo that handles power management. That's what the conflict is, in my naivety I did not realize that would create a conflict. Now I am without both AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.Kexts as well as FakeSMC. Still, that leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any ideas?
