Quick back history.
I semi-successfully had a Hackintosh running fine using the tools and guides here using Retail Snow Leopard with great success except audio was not great and I could not get the network to work at all.
Old Hardware based system
Asus P5QL
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM (for install) had 8GB for system
Nvidia GeForce 9600GT
Seagate 1GB SATA Drive
LG SATA DVD Drive
again system worked great except I could not get it on the network....so I took the plunge and shelled out some bucks to build a new system
Current build on recommend hardware is bombing which frusturates me a little considering my old tech based system ran very well except for the LAN issue (driver issue). It bombs during the MAC OS X 10.6.8 combo update. It gets almost done and then stops. I then get the on screen message You need to restart you computer. Hold Down the power button until it turns off, then press the power button again. This is the not the nice and friendly restart your computer request, this is the nasty in your face your system is hosed restart MAC message.
Should I try and run MuliBeast before the update.....what would happen?
My system is based on Sandy Bridge CustoMac Build #4 with only minor changes
Here is my current hardware:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA 1155 Z68
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600 LGA 1155 Boxed Processor
Memory: Corsair XMS3 Series 4GB DDR3-2000 (PC3-16000) (have 16GB for system) Only 4GB installed right now for config
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA 3.0Gbps (System partition of 750GB)
Video: Gigabyte GV-R687OC-1GD AMD Radeon HD 6870 1024MB
Otical Drive: LG LG 12X SATA Blu-Ray DVD Burner
Case: Antec Three Hundred ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Power Supply: Antec EarthWatts Green Series 650 Watt ATX 12V Power Supply
Installation DVD: Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Retail
On a side note but not a game killer at the moment when I did the initial boot into OS X on the old Asus Nvidia based system, I had dual screens (dual monitors) on the new system with the Radeon HD 6870 there is only 1 screen.
Anyone have any ideas on what course of action I should take?
My Current config is pretty darn close to what is recommened for a CustoMac
