Grey screen of doom upon using GTX 660

[tyjacobsen37]

Totenkopf and Stehor have been great getting troubleshooting the OS SL issues and boot0 issue. Now that I am running much more smoothly, how do i install the nVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 GPU?

I downloaded the nvidia drivers before installing and set GraphicsEnabler=no. Am I missing a step?

Hi,

If you are using a DSDT, you can try to boot with following flags combination:

GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000
or
GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x3000
or
GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x2000
or
GraphicsEnabler=Yes npci=0x3000

I know this is a lot to test but you will have to try what works

If you do not use DSDT, I would suggest you to void DSDT with adding this flag to previous ones:
DSDT=/dev/Null

Lolo,

I would love to test those but now the graphics card won't send a signal to the monitor every time. Occasionally, it lets me through but only into the UNIBEAST installer and even then the screen settings are about a quarter of the screen size. On those occasions, I have access to terminal and disk utilily but the hard part is getting it to do that consistently. What could I do with that?

can you precise what graphic output you're using ? DVI, VGA or HDMI ? Try each one of these for installation, after system is properly installed, you should be able to switch to the one you prefer.
