Hi, total newbie here but trying to get an i7 build going to run ProTools.
GA-X79-UD5 board
i7 3930k
vengeance low profile RAM (24gb total) running on three channels - I thought I was plugging them in to ABC but BIOS reports they're on BCD.
Asus GT520 Silent graphics card
I have a friend who generously gave me his shopping list and a clone of his tonymac-made hard drive, too. I built identical to his setup with two exceptions, 6 sticks of RAM instead of 8, and a different graphics cards as the one he suggested was no longer being made.
Using a UniBeast USB drive I can get his SSD drive to load as far as userspace post success, ethernet address, macx_swapon success, etc, but then I get a black screen and "no signal" on the monitor. System won't just shut down but I have to hold the power button for a few seconds.
Same result trying to mount the stick drive to start from scratch, no flags have helped there either. Slightly different sequence of verbose code at the end, but same net result
I'm booting with a few flags and have tried options, UID=0 or 1, npci=0x3000, -x, GraphicsEnabler=no and yes
I've tried all three ports on my video card, moved the PCI card from 3 to 1, and double-checked
Any other flags or tips are greatly appreciated!
