Hello, I have been having some problems trying to get my system on its feet.
My build is the last build on the 2011 Customac Reccomeded Builds page.
CPU Intel Core i7-2600K
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
Graphics Card AMD Radeon HD 6870
RAM 16GB Corsair 1600Mhz DDR3
Power Supply Corsair 650watt
HDD Samsung 1TB
These are my Bios settings: IMG_9876.jpg

Okay so I am a video editor, I don't know a lot about computers but I'm trying to get this system up quickly. I followed the iBoot tutorial, making sure that I didnt have any other devices plugged in, only 4GB of RAM, and that the SATA cables were plugged into the Blue Intel ports not the white Gigabyte: do I have this right?

So, I have been able to get Snow Leopard installed on my computer fine but I can only boot it with iBoot. I have followed multiple user suggestions for Updating and running Multibeast but every time I do this my computer hangs on the loading screen once rebooted and then usually proceeds to just go into a sleep mode I guess. Even when I try rebooting with the iBoot disc the same thing happens so I have to format my hard drive and restart. I have done this about 8 times now and I don't seem to be getting anywhere. What method should I be using to get my system going? or do I even have to update to 10.6.8? I really don't care I just want a working system even if that means it is not fully updated.
I can remember trying these methods so far, with no luck:
1. iBoot + 10.6.3 Retail
2. Multibeast Easy DSDT
3. Update Helper
4. Reboot using iBoot
5. 10.6.8 Combo
6. Multibeast User DSDT and System Utilities
1. iBoot + 10.6.3 Retail
2. Multibeast User DSDT
3. Reboot without iBoot
1. iBoot + 10.6.3 Retail
2. Update Helper
3. Multibeast User DSDT and System Utilities
4. Reboot without iBoot
Also one last thing, I have been using the F8 version DSDT because I think that my motherboard has an F8 bios, as I think you can see in the top left corner of this picture:

Am I right?
Thanks for your help guys, hope I can get this going soon!
