GA-Z77N-WIFI with Gt 640 not running properly

[alexneu]

Hey JBG,

thanks a lot for your fast reply again Tomorrow I will get 2 DVI-D cables for my two screens. Then I will start to test everything with the new cables. I will test everything step by step tomorrow
You are right. Some things you have in your BIOS are not in mine. Maybe it is because of the different processor. Or maybe I should upgrade the BIOS. It's the original version but I guess there are some new BIOS updates available.
As soon as I will get my system running I will make a new video in which I will explain everything I did do - of course I will mention JBG, too
These ones I fastly created with my iPhone. Not perfect but you get every information you needed to provide me new suggestions and solution approaches

Just one more little question: Does everything work fine for you? Especially videos from youtube for instance? Because when starting with -x then you videos are flickering.

Thanks a lot for all your help. Now it's on me to get everything running. But I will let you know my next steps and if it's working for me or not. Just to keep you informed.

Thanks a lot for your help
Best regards

Hi Alex ...

It MUST work for you tomorrow cause I'm running out of options
And don't upgrade, F2 is fine

 

[alexneu]

jajaja

yes. i see it absolutely the same way i am sure it will work.

hi JBG,

it's pretty awesome. It's working. The funny thing was: I tried step by step turning on the same things inside of the BIOS like you did do. And it was working afterwards. I also got my ASUS GT640 running now. The only thing i needed to do different here was unchecking the GraphicsEnabler within Chameleon Wizard because the Asus GT640 is supported within Mountain Lion. Also I don't need to put in a graphic solution. And what to say. Everything seems to work fine. Restart, Sleep, Shutdown. The only thing I don't know yet is if it's really working like a professional mac. With all the power and especially with full graphics support But that's something I need to figure out now within the next weeks . I will create a tutorial now for everybody who also tries to create an MacOnPC As soon as I created this tutorial I will send it to you, too.

Here the evidence http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNK7JaBslsc&feature=youtu.be

Thanks a lot again for all your help and support. Was very very useful and without I guess I would not run the system now

Best regards

Hey Alex ...

Great going man ... but ... the one million dollar question ... WHAT was the main problem in BIOS then ?
Was it (I think myself one off these two) 'Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage' or the VT-d option ...

Great job

 

[alexneu]

Hi JBG,

the VT-d was not the problem. Nevertheless I put it on disable because I don't really need it. It's Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (Vanderpool). You can virtualize your systems. You can use different operating systems and you can tell your pc that every operating system is a single computer system. Nothing what I really need but which really does not affect the Mountain Lion as well.

Internal CPU PLL Overvoltage: Did not affect anything.

X.M.P affected the Lion start so after disabling I could start ML without any problems. But ... and that's the funny thing on all this ... you mentioned the kept the antennas connected. I really could not imagine that this could be a problem but after connecting them I really did not get any "Bluetooth error" again. So...

What I did not test was the combination of some BIOS configurations. Because this would take hours, days, weeks, month, years jeje.

It's pretty cool to have forums like this with people like you who are trying to help all the time and at the end everything ends with a big success.

 

[JBG]

Well done Alex

I'm glad it works for you ... finally
Ok then ... looking forward to your tutorial / video

Have fun, and glad I could help a little

hi JBG,

sorry for the late answer. Was unexpectable out of the city the last 2 days.
And thanks a lot again for your help. Indeed: Without your help I would not get anything run here.

Best regards

 

[JBG]

Oh no problem man ...

Even I have another life too

 

[alexneu]

hi jbg,

ok. this is a little documentation we created: Only for testing purposes of course. I wanted to send it to you via PM but it's not possible for me, yet because I need at least 20 threads here (actually that's the message i get). it's written a little strange but understandable.

best regards
