I am desperately needing some help. I built a Hackintosh a few month ago.
Everything was working great. Then one night, my motherboard crashed.
I replaced it with the same model and got all the same hardware installed again. I have the same bios version. I switched the hpet to 64bit and to achi mode. I plugged my hard drives in and powered the machine on. It showed the Apple logo screen and I was super excited. Then the Apple logo went away and it's just a grey screen. I can't get it to boot at all.
I'm really good with Windows machines but not so much with Macs.
Please help.
I know I could wipe everything and start fresh but I have some video editing I was working on and don't want to lose it.
Is it possible to fix this issue? Am I missing something important? Can I fix it without a reinstall? Any help or recommendations is much appreciated.
