alarmeng Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi I've been at this for weeks with some or little success, just wondering if anyone can shed any light on it. I've got a Dell E6410 (Intel). I-ve loaded Yosemite what seems ok, but when I try to boot it sticks at the flashing - prompt on a black screen. If I press F12 and select UEFI boot (UEFI :INT13(USB,0X80) it boots to "HACKINTOSH ZONE" then shows me the Apple logo for approx. 10 secs then it reboots to the above again, black screen and a flashing cursor. (Sussed the above) Any idea's as im a bit stuck. Many thanks. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alarmeng Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Getting a bit further this morning, Managed to use "Transmac" and put the Yosemite image on it. She isn't booting properly so after more reading im guessing thatits the video driver. Getting there slowly. After numerous installs I guess im hitting a wall. Everything seems to install correctly, when I select the install location from the splash screen after several minutes of disc activity it slowly slows down until there is no activity and then the display (even though its blank) seems to shut down and then nothing at all after that. Any idea's ???? Even tried safe mode too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 19, 2015 well does it install the os or are you not getting to the installer screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alarmeng Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Yes it does the install, comes up with the background and the selection of either ("Untitled " MY DISC) or recovery HD. Selecting my disc appears to start up but the screen goes blank and the HDD activity goes from very active to virtually non existent after about 8 minutes. Many thanks Also noticed that it also shuts the USB ports down at the same time as the screen shuts off....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 19, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 19, 2015 try booting with -v -f flags to see where it is hanging also if your machine bios has option for vt-D disable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
