Hello all,
Sorry for the lengthy title. As of posting, I completed my first Hackintosh build yesterday - all components were recognized and I could boot to BIOS. Yesterday afternoon I began a Mavericks installation with UniBeast. All was well up until the installation reached the "23 minutes remaining" mark. At that point, the computer shut itself off. When attempting to reboot, the fans power up for anywhere from 20 seconds and 1 second, and then shut down.
Does anyone have any idea what could have gone wrong?
I've removed graphics card, all but one stick of ram, both HDD and SSD, WiFi card, triple-checked mobo standoffs to make sure nothing was being shorted, removing CMOS battery, and unplugged everything from the power supply.
I can only think that it's a faulty PSU or motherboard. What's strange is that it was working so well, and randomly powered itself off.
Thank you for any help you can provide!
