So, I'm having a Scotch cause I'm outta ideas

[CameraGuy]

Here's my build


EVGA GTX 760 4GB
i7 4770K with standard Heatsink
8 GB RAM - cause my previous 16GB won't work, and the 8 hanging around will
Samsung EVO 840 system drive
6 X Seagate 3TB, 7200rpm, 64MB Cache drives
1X 1.5TB Western Digital Green Drive for data
Antec 850 GOLD - rated 92% efficient
Cooler Master COSMOS SE TOWER

When trying to boot using the Unibeast system, I get a kernal error. I have tried various edits as recommended in other posts, but it doesn't get any better.

Windows is still installed on the 840. I was going to wipe it to make a dual boot. It allowed me to build the raid - 16.3TB with a read and write about 880MB/s according to BlackMagic.

The raid however, disappears after a few minutes. Trying to install the drivers provided by Gigabyte.

The bios is not up to date. It is at F2. Trying to upgrade to F4, the latest gives me an error message that says I don't have the correct installer and I should contact the manufacturer - where do you think I got the bios from.

So, any ideas how I can solve this?

Right now, as I try and drown my sorrows, it is hanging trying to install some drivers off a USB DVD drive.

Oh, ya, I'm on a deadline. I wasn't when I started this on Monday afternoon, but I am quickly approaching a deadline. I will be editing this on an i5 laptop tomorrow.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks for listening to my rant.

Which motherboard do you have ?

It's probably one of these : BIOS Link

Download the BIOS and extract it.
Format a USB Flash Drive as FAT.
Copy the BIOS file to it.
Insert the USB Flash Drive and power on.
Press Delete to enter BIOS.
You can flash it to the new version with one of the function keys - It's listed in your BIOS.

Good Luck

And Cheers !!

Glen Fiddich or Glen Moray? Prefer the Glen Moray myself, but it is a bit pricey.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I got the same error message.

This is pretty frustrating

No, after wasting all this money, it was cheap Grants.

Seriously, I really do need help here. I need this Hackintosh.

Ok, so which motherboard do you have ?

Boot with -v -x

Take a picture of the screen with the error and post it here.
So far you haven't really given much information, the more you give the more you get here usually.


Good Luck

Thanks for the help. I did what you suggested.

Here is the screen shot.

You still haven't stated your motherboard - All of your major components should be in your profile as required by the site Rules.

It will help others to help you.

I would suggest starting a new thread with a title relevant to your problem.
State when the system was last working, what changed, what you have attempted in an effort to resolve it and the result.

Include the screenshot.

Good Luck

If you can help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
