Merry Christmas everybody. I'm at my parents place and have been showing off my new computer.
Unfortunately I did something stupid today: I thought because of the graphics freeze problem I should try some more things before giving up on the HD3000.
So I thought it might help to install the latest version of Chimera since I had 1.6 and also selected the definition MacPro 3,1 in Multibeast 4.2, hoping to get some improvements.
Now it won't boot completely anymore, neither from disk nor from my unibeast thumb drive. It won't go past the gray apple logo now.
So I tried to access the SSD by plugging it into my macbook through an external usb enclosure. It was strange beause for some reason it kept unmounting itself and reacted pretty slowly. I checked the volume with disk utility and got the message that some tree was wrong there and I would have to repair the volume.
I didn't proceed because I have a suspicion that it could be related to a power shortage since I had it bus powered on a single port. I'll have to check with a Y cable tomorrow.
It's a bummer that I didn't bring my backup drive.
I'll see what I can do but I would really appreciate some hints to get this to boot normally again.
