So I've built somewhere around 7 Hackintoshes over the past 5+ years and all have been absolute champs. This year I decided to try to build something that was a little more of a challenge (and also more of a beast when it comes to computing power) and am now having a number of issues getting this thing to run.
For Hardware I have:
Asus Sabertooth X79
Intel Xeon ES-2680 v2
EVGA GTX 980 SC
64GB RAM
Samsung 850 Pro SSD
I was able to get the machine to boot and install Yosemite.
I was able to boot again and setup a user and run Multibeast.
I was even able to get it to boot once with no Ethernet.
Now I can't get it to boot at all.
Whenever it did boot, it was extremely slow and I'm sure much of that was down to the graphics drivers being bad, but I was never able to boot in and get the card up and running.
I've tried many different boot flags at this point based on other posts but I'm not having much luck.
dart=0 npci=0x2000 nv_disable=1 and combinations thereof
I'd really love for this machine to work but so far am worried it's just not going to happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
