This is not turning out to be the smooth installation I had hoped for when I bought the recommended parts from the Guide...
Broken motherboard cost me a day, then I had an incompatible installation USB stick, then there was something with my fonts (see other topic), and now this.
It worked for about 2 hours.
At least sort of, the system would occasionally seem to freeze where the dock wouldn't respond anymore.
I couldn't install some programs (Google Chrome/Final Cut 7 - the installers had to restart and then quit themselves) but a reboot fixed that.
But now the stupid thing won't turn on - I think the problem might be the graphics since the screen is half black
I'm using the onboard graphics on GA-B75M-D3P (which I'm pretty sure is HD4000). This board is supposedly fully supported.
Problem occurred after I re-ran MultiBeast to check the USB3.0 box, and I installed drivers for ALFA 036H wifi adapter - then I hit reboot.
My Bios is set to ACHI on, with Internal Graphics enabled at 64M. Connected to monitor with DVI-D cable.
I briefly get the grey logo screen with the spinning thing, and then the attached happens.
Half the screen is grey, the rest is black with some static color stuff at the sides. Screenshot attached.
I've tried boot: -x
and boot: -f
and boot: GraphicsEnabler=Yes "Graphics Mode"="1920x1080x32" -v
This all did not help.
Could someone please tell me what I have to do to get things back to working?
