Hi everyone,

today I'm trying to update my system with a clean install.

Specs:
X58-UD3R FF
i7-950 No OC
6x 2GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1333 MHz RAM
Sapphire HD 5870

1x 1TB WD Black HDD
1x 1TB Samsung Spinpoint 3 HDD
1x OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

Now, install is going well.
But then when using the system it randoms freeze and I need to do hard power off.
And other problems is that for no sense I got black / grey screen -> please turn off your system...

What can be the problem ?

Even Lion doesn't want to install on the SSD :S
 
Are you using a DSDT, speed stepper kext or NullIACPUPM kext?
If using DSDT does it match board revision and BIOS version?
 
I'm using the right DSDT for the Bios.
Don't using Speed Stepper Kext or anything else.

Now the more strange thing is that the installer fails to install Mountain Lion...
My bios settings are normal....
 
the errors that I'm getting with Lion / Mountain Lion installers...
see attachment...

No, no memory test done, what program do you recommend for testing the memory.
I will try tonight if I can install Windows onto my system...

Can it be a graphics card problem, because 2 days ago my graphics card fan was running on full speed, didn't get any screen working -> system won't start then...
Now my graphics card works again....
 
ok, this morning I started the Memory test, before I left to my work it was around 20% within the first run and already got around 300 errors...
Can this be the problem why I can't install OSX ?

tag each ram stick so you can tell them apart
put one ram stick in the first slot and run memtest+ - then test it in the second slot, third slot, fourth slot. Record results
put next ram stick in and repeat. repeat with each stick until you have tested all slots with each stick

The purpose of all this is to test if it is the ram or the slot.
 
Ok, thanks for the information, I will do this whole test when I get home.

Kind regards!
