dot202 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi guys. I'm new in this stuff so this is my story. I'm trying install Mac OS X on my old pc Intel P4 Northwood 1.6Ghz (SSE2) VIA P4X266A 768MB RAM ATI Radeon 9200 256MB Seagate 80GB 7200RPM When I boot the DVD it appears the Darwin boot screen, then I press enter and appears the grey backround with the Apple logo but after that the pc just simply turn off. I don't know if is hardware problems or a bad .img file Thank you. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28262-mac-os-x-doesnt-boot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemikal-aa Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 if i had to guess and im not a pro but id try these things 1. disable unnecessary hardware in the bios (network, sound, modem) 2. Reburn image 3. download different version 10.4.4 worked great for me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28262-mac-os-x-doesnt-boot/#findComment-193648 Share on other sites More sharing options...
