I've been trying to complete a hackintosh build and have been running into issues with the installation. I followed the buyer's guide on this site and purchased a Gigabyte z97 Gaming 7, and a intel i7 4790k, with a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD. I already had a 800 Watt Corsair PSU, and a Corsair H100i Water Cooler, to go along with an Obsidian 750 case.
I created a UniBeast bootable USB and copied the MultiBeast folder into that USB. I made sure the settings in the BIOS are what are recommended, and press F12 to boot into that USB. I also formatted the SSD on my mac mini, again to what is recommended on this site.
It comes up to the apple screen and begins to load the OS and the flashes like a white noise screen and then it begins to install/load the OS.
After it loads the OS I get to the step of formatting the SSD and then trying to install it on said SSD.
It'll get about 1/4 of the way and then freeze!
I've tried doing the process without the GPU, left only 1 stick of RAM, and set to igfx in the bios to not boot to the GPU.
The only thing I can think of that might be the issue is my RAM, which is PNY 1333 mhz DDR3. In the buyer's guide it recommends 1600mhz, but I wanted to see if my RAM would work on it.
Any how, before I make a 130 dollar purchase in RAM, I wanted to ask and see if anyone had this issue, or if someone could recommend something else for me. I've had nothing but unsuccessful attempts in building a Hackinstosh with not success...it sucks!
