Then go to System Preferences and set the sound outputs to whatever you are using (probably internal speakers) Also, can you do me a favor and DL this: http://www.maxon.net/downloads/downloads/cinebench.html run the video (OpenGL) test and let me know what numbers you get. thanks! | ||

Is it possible that just one channel on the motherboard is bad? ![[image loading]](http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/4520/28689931.gif) Oh well though; already gave my extra ram sticks to a friend Hopefully I won't have any problems for a few years | ||

Well, I've got a slightly different MB. It's a EP45-DS4P. I was able to get the audio working through eventually by copying the AppleHDA.kext from my iMac and an HDAenable.kext file. Works great now.  Cinebench: CINEBENCH R10 **************************************************** Tester : Processor : MHz : Number of CPUs : 4 Operating System : OS X 32 BIT 10.5.8 Graphics Card : ATI Radeon RV770 Prototype OpenGL Engine Resolution : <fill this out> Color Depth : <fill this out> **************************************************** Rendering (Single CPU): 3483 CB-CPU Rendering (Multiple CPU): 11986 CB-CPU Multiprocessor Speedup: 3.44 Shading (OpenGL Standard) : 7088 CB-GFX **************************************************** I was not able to overclock at all. I tried the settings you recommended but the computer would just restart a couple of times and the revert to previous settings. Gotta work on that... The key difference for me was the DDR2 ram running at 800 mhz rather than the 1066 that you have. Can you recommend settings for OCing based on that? I understand that the mem needs to run at at least 2 times the CPU setting, right? I'm also still running the stock Q9550 cooler. | ||

You are also correct that you need to have at least 2:1 of the FSB, but that means you can just do a lower overclock, such as 400FSB. You will also want to change the FSB ratio to 400FSB, instead of the 333FSB that my guide uses. Then manually select 800MHz for the RAM speed (2:1). 400FSB will still yield a very reasonable speed of 3.4GHz. Voltage can probably be ~1.30 or less depending on the starting VID of your chip, so long as you have load-line calibration enabled. | ||

Maltice: Instead of removing Chameleon just edit it to autostart. Navigate to the /Extra copy the apple.com.Boot.plist to the desktop open it and add the following lines below any line that ends in </string> Preserve the tabbed over formatting of the keys/string <key>Timeout</key> <string>2</string> Save the plist and add it back to the /Extra folder. Open terminal type sudo -s enter your password (you must have an account with a password for this) cd / chmod -R 755 extra chown -R root:wheel extra exit Reboot and Chameleon should autostart the default volume in 2 seconds. | ||

I get a blue screen on boot(even in safe mode -x) and cant eject the boot 132 disc (I was going to try a fresh install to fix it) so cant go anywhere that i see. This happened after doing auto update at first i was having the same problem as maltice with a grey (with specs dots like water splashed on the screen) screen on boot but could move the mouse and stuff would sort of move. So i tried the safe boot and opened up the 4870 driver and did the install .... I dont think i was suposed to do that my memory showed up but my video card doesnt show up all the way like one of the other posts has a picture with a 4890 card my didnt show all the info . is there a comand i can use to just start over and do a fresh install? heres what i get on diagnostic messages. anything else i should look for? I cant get in to osx I just get the blue screen. boot 132 is stuck in dvd drive The only difference on my build is i have a Pioneer218 dvd burner SATA dumppanic (53)error getting reference to iodevice tree | ||

Did you auto-update to 10.5.8? You can try using a DVI->VGA converter on the card and see if that changes anything. You can use a paperclip to open the DVD burner (the small hole in the front panel). Try booting with -x -f -v. You can always do that fresh install can't you? Just boot off the Boot-132 CD like you did the very first time.

I'm keen to install it, but checking here for any details i should know I will be using this guide to install SL: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=181903 I figured I can make it more approachable, but have not had time yet. School started up for me again =/ I can promise that it will happen eventually since I need to do it for my business, but I do not know when. | ||

the ONLY little problem i have now is the CMOS. for some reason, booting into OSX resets the time in my BIOS to 4 hours too late. i can boot into win 7 a hundred times without the time changing, but as soon as i go into osx, it resets the time. the weird thing is that the time in OSX is always right, no matter what the bios says sleep/hibernate/standby doesnt work in windows 7, but that doesnt bother me too much | ||
