[paulphilip]

hi guys
im trying to get my hackintosh running for a long time.

Here is my hardware :
Lenovo k430 Desktop PC
i5 3350P
8gb ram
gtx 770 (from palit)
LENOVO MAINBOARD

I have tried so many diffrent ways to install os x but it didnt worked.
I think it is the mainboard which makes trouble.
I boot the installer and install it but after the reboot my pc dont start.

i hope you can help and sorry for my bad english.

Thanks, Paul.

If the booting stuck on the grey apple screen, then boot with flag -v and post a clear photo of the entire frozen screen

Connect bootable USB to a USB2.0 Port.

Also cross check the below settings on BIOS (Ignore those are not available)

1. Enable USB Legacy Support
2. Set xHCI mode as AUTO (Not SMART Auto)
3. Set xHCI Hand-Off as Enabled
4. Enable the EHCI Hand-off
5. Disable VT-D

Then try to boot.

Ensure that the monitor connected to digital output port (DVI/HDMI). Do not use VGA or any type of converters.

Try booting with flag -f -x -v

ok i've successfully installed yosemite (i am writing from it )
but i have some problems :
i can only boot with -x.
osx don't take my Asus xonar u7 and my usb mic. ( because of -x ?)

What is happening in normal boot.?? If the booting stuck somewhere then come back with a photo after booting with flag -v.

osx don't take my Asus xonar u7 and my usb mic. ( because of -x ?)

I am not sure whether this USB Sound card is supported on OS X or not. I am always using my onboard audio.

-x will load only some important kexts, it can be a reason.

Note :- Asus Xonar U7 will work with Yosemite
