Pretty sure my GTX 780 just busted. Loud pop noise, screen went black, fans to 100%. Can't get an image on the monitor. I'm wondering what I can upgrade to with the following stats. CPU: i7 2600k MOBO: Gigabyte Z68x UD4 B3 OS: Mac 10.9 (Mavericks) + Win 8.1 I haven't built a hack for a long...

Received my LG 31um97 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OKSEVTY/?tag=tonymacx86com-20. It should do 4096x 2160 @60hz, but I only get 3840x2160 @ 30hz, maximum. I am running Win 8.1 and OSX 10.9.3(mavericks). Same problem on both OS. With Display Port 1.2 enabled on the monitor, I get 4096x...

Shutting down Mavericks doesn't shut down the computer. It goes to the grey screen after the desktop closes out and then idles. I have to do the hard shut down with the power button. When I start the computer up again, there is no bios reset or notes about the computer not shutting down...

New problem out of nowhere. Using Mavericks for a few months now and suddenly Preview is acting up. Not sure what is happening, any thoughts? Attached file shows the issue when I press spacebar on a file. If I try to open the file in preview, the program crashes consistently. I can...

When I restart from MAC to WINDOWS, I end up with no sound in win 8.1. I have to restart the computer again or do a full shutdown between switching OS to allow the computer to generate sound again. In windows it recognizes there is sound coming through while playing a song, it simply doesn't...

i7 2600k Gigabyte Z68 UD4 B3 16gb ram GTX 480 w/aftermarket cooler FW 800 card in the other 16x slot So I have a 480. I'd like to buy a 780. I've read/heard the 780 doesn't work with Snow Leopard. No fix? I still use FCP 7 on SL and I'm having problems adding that to ML. I bought...

Hello. I'm in a twist. Z68x UD4 B3 (F6) i7 2600k GTX 480 16GB ram Installed ML using the guides here. Installed items using Multibeast according to the guides. Now when I boot it gets to the drive selection screen in chameleon, and when I choose my ML setup it goes...

I'd like to expand my storage capacity. I have a Gigabyte Z68x ud4 b3 . It has 6 sata connectors but I'm already out of space with 2 SSDs and 4 HDD. My goals are to free up space for a third SDD and add a optical disc tray, followed by making room for future upgrades in sheer data space...

I have 3 monitors and I'm sick of switching between them. I have two desktop monitors(dvi) and one tv(hdmi). I would like to buy a GTX 680, but I don't have the cash right now. Combing through the threads here about getting 3 monitors to work on a GTX 480, the most common answer is NO and to...

I cannot comment on the probability of success, copying over a different install, but may I be the first or only to suggest you start again anyway!? I was in the same position and I bit the bullet and made my new hack as fresh as possible. This included installing many programs, setting up the...

Looking to upgrade my Zotac GTX 480 to a 580 soon. I see a lot of commentary and even full threads about the 580 and Lion working great, but nothing about Snow Leopard. Wanted to confirm before I pulled the trigger. Thoughts. Advice. All welcome.

So. I've scoured and scoured, trying to get advice on how to keep my GTX 480 cool in my Fractal R3 case. Most responses surely will be, "it's a GTX 480! What did you think it WASN'T going to be hot and loud?". That's not the issue. It's running up around 90C when playing games in WIN7 and...

A very broad question from someone who has built his computer, but is not sure if it's running full steam. I bought a Zotac GTX 480. Fairly beefy. Running it in Mac OSX Snow Leopard, is there any way to tell if it is helping with video transcoding and various other tasks? I do a lot of work in...

I have my SSD with Snow Leopard. Then I have a bootable back up, using Carbon Copy Cloner, on a different drive also plugged in that has a separate partition just for data. This is in case I want to boot using it if for any reason my main drive/install fails. So that's pretty obvious. My issue...

More questions. I have a Samsung Television as my second monitor, LG 24" LCD for my primary. On my previous store-bought mac pro tower, I had no problem playing fullscreen video on my TV when turning off my primary LCD(thereby negating unnecessary light in my periphery). Now in my hack pro...

With all the information swirling among all the topics, I built my hack and have been very happy with it. Being my first build I kind of shotgunned through the multibeast and other various settings, installing Kexts willy nilly to be frank. While i do believe everything is running well, as...

bios.jpg (Not my boot screen, nor my hardware, but the error message is the same) Dual boot Win7/10.6 on 2 separate SSD. Seagate 3tb HDD formatted to Mac OS, merely for data, no OS on it, seems to be having issues. Basically, when the computer boots, on the second screen it lists the drives...

Hi. I'm new to building computers and hackintoshs. Built my own through the copious knowledge in these threads over the last few days. Have Win7 and Snow Leopard running on separate SSDs..and so on. Notable specs: CPU - Intel i7 2600k (not overclocking) CPU COOLER - Stock with i7 GPU -...

I purchased an IO Gear GBU421 bluetooth dongle. http://www.iogear.com/product/GBU421 I had an 10.6 install yesterday and when I plugged it in, it immediately worked and recognized the magic track pad without a breath. I've since needed to reinstall and now the bluetooth dongle doesn't work...
