Stuck on apple logo during install for long time.
What's the problem?
UEFI BIOS setup or downgrade my Hard Disk to SATA II, so after that setup to SATA III.
Really I don't understand.
Someone how have the same motherboard share his o her experiences.

If you have a new Hard disk that has the Advanced Format spec (4k Sector) this could cause you some issues w install.
I am not sure but you maybe able to use the on board graphics HD3000 to get SL installed -
Suggest we try to use only the HD3000 GFX port - DVi to the monitor and remove the ATI Card - remove the sound card as well.
Also if you have an older HD that you can spare its a good idea to test installs on older hardware to avoid issues like Advanced Format as OSX SL is not designed w that hardware in mind. If you are getting this "grey screen" at boot up then its something to do w GFX most likely.
Using these command startup switches for your boot up - "-v -f acpi=off PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No"
and see it this get you past to the install screen.
You should become aware of these links for the install.
