Variety of problems with Core2Duo generation desktop (Apple ID, BIOS, Network/Audio)

[djxstream]

Hi everyone, I followed the Unibeast / Multibeast guide posted on this site and was able to create a working usb installer w/ ML.

I was able to boot into the install and process through it, was able to initally boot into OS X 10.8

Had working internet, working dual screens, really the only thing not working hardware wise I noticed was audio. So I ran multibeast to install Audio, ALC888, and when I reboot, I no longer have a network connection....and still the audio doesnt work.

And also have a 2 other issues, even before I ran multibeast, after my inital setup I try to login with my Apple ID and it says "an error occured" and I can't download frim the Appstore. Confirmed my password and such is correct by logging in via Safari.

Then to add icing to this cake, sometimes when I reboot my BIOS tells me it's corrupt and reverts to default...so I lose my OC and my AHCI options.

Thanks for reading. Any help would be greatly appreicated. Here are the system specs

GA-EP3-DS3L rev 1.0 - bios F3
Core 2 Duo E7200
2x2GB Corsair DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 8600GT 256MB
WD Raptor 10K Drive

About This Mac shows Early 2008 Mac Pro.

Dual boots to boot Linux Mint as well.

I think I figured it out...I'm posting this now from OSX...

I browsed the options for Multibeast and starting reading descriptions...and you know the top one, EasyBeast, sounded alot like what I needed.

So after selecting EasyBeast, Lnx2Mac's Realtek 81xx, Voodoo HDA 0.2.1 - installed and reboot..I seem to be okay.

no bios resets, was apple to log into App Store and have audio! Hope this helps others with core2duo generation hardware.
