Hello guys.
I am new to this forum and i would just like to say I would appreciate all the help i could get.
I recently purchased a Asus Essentio Desktop from best buy
It has a SATA CD-Rom drive and a 1TB SATA HD
It is a i7920
gtx 260 216c
there are full specs from the site
Asus - Essentio Desktop with Intel® Core™ i7 Processor - CG5290-BP007

I have tried about 20 different installs
I disable HT, 1 core, everything on AHCI power saving options off for cpu

I tried all three kernels
Installations always complete but machine either goes into a infinite boot (grey screen with the spinning logo for an hr), or it takes me past that into a black screen, after which my moniter says "no input"
i have tried both dvi slots on the gtx 260
please help, there are no guides for my mb and i think the problem may be with the graphics?
i used gt200 and nvinject enabler
thanks alot!

Please tell me the VERY steps you took since I just got this wonderful machine from Best Buy. I absolutely love it and would love OSX on it. Thanks in advance.

Please tell us how you got all 4 cores (8 threads) working. Thanks!

**desisoul** · 08-30-2009 07:44 AM

the cores was with the dsdt patch
if you do manual, make sure you delete any dsdt file located on root of mac drive (you will need to run the "show/hide" app in applications/utilites in order to see the dsdt file
after that, run the manual dsdt patch, follow directions (theres a thread on google, just search for it)
you can also try the gui dsdt patch, but MAKE SURE you have to dsdt in you mac os x root drive before you try this
took me about 20 trys before i got it to work
perfect now
will post screens soon
