Little Frog in High Def“Are there supposed to be two of these?” My wife texts me at work.“I thought you were only making one of these.”On Friday the parts for the computer arrived. And apparently something happened with the order, as TWO computer cases arrived. So my wife, who knew I was building ONE computer was confused, as TWO arrived.
Actually, I know what happened. I ordered several things from Amazon and they all cleared, but the order for the case for some reason needed validation from my bank. I answered all the bank questions, but got one wrong, so they declined the order. So I ordered from another source (manufacture direct) and that order cleared.
And then unbeknownst to me, the other order cleared too and the item shipped. But this seemed to be an omen of things to come. Time to assemble the computer!
My buddy Patrick wanted to come over for that so after dinner he arrived and we set to building the computer. First thing to do is the processor. So Patrick made sure that I bought some good thermal paste, for the connection of the processor to the cooling fan. Both Patrick and Stefan said that I needed to get a good cooling fan, as the one provided was.
As you can see, the difference is huge. If this baby was going to render in Resolve and deal with high end video, it would kick into TURBO mode, and for that, it needed really good cooling. So I put the processor in place, wiped it clean with an alcohol wipe (that Patrick brought with him in his “Hackintosh kit”) applied thermal paste, spread it with a small spatula (provided with the paste) and screwed everything into the motherboard.
Then I went to install the RAM. Where’s the RAM? The RAM didn’t arrive. I look at my web orders and sure enough, I FORGOT TO ORDER RAM! No worries, in Patrick’s Hack kit there were 2x. GB sticks and 1x. GB stick of RAM that we used for this install. And Patrick ordered one too, for when he was going to upgrade his machine.
His arrived quickly, mine did not. After two weeks I emailed to ask about it, and they responded, apologized, and got one out to me ASAP, and included a “goody bag” of a few neat items (alas, not RAM, like I hoped, given my current situation). Then came time for the power supply. Installed that, and then with all the power cords that came with it, set about plugging them into the power unit, and then into the motherboard. Then I plugged various cables onto the motherboard for power, the Power LED light, the FANs, the USB connectors, audio connectors. This I had done before, having made a hack before. But when I first did it, Patrick was a great help.
I’d have been a bit lost in the manual on this. And connected the hard drive power to the power supply as well. So I had this 2. 5. I knew this and had ordered one with all the rest of the stuff. But it was cheap and plastic ($4) and it broke in a couple places. Patrick figured out that that’s where one can mount two SSD drives. Perfect. OK, I now had everything installed and was ready to install the Mac OS!
We were going to install Yosemite, as it was the best one for this specific setup. Now. You need to go to the Tonymac site and download one of their modified installers, and follow their specific install guides (brilliant coders modify the install to work with certain off the shelf parts, thus why you follow a guide for what to buy). This is the one Stefan recommended as rock solid, and the one he used to make several Hacks. And it was very similar to the one I used the first time I made one. It’s all in that guide. So I did all that! We did it in what is called VERBOSE MODE, meaning it shows all the code as it starts up.
So you can see what process is happening. So if something bad happens, or the install fails, you can see why. What I found fascinating about this is that this code was filled with very casual conversation instructions. IT NEVER DID ANYTHING ANYWAY.” “THIS KEY DOES NOT DO ANYTHING, PLEASE REMOVE IT.” “THE HIDEUTILCHECKIN UTILITY IS AN ARCHITECTURAL ISSUE.
PLEASE TRANSITION AWAY FROM IT.” Can you believe that? IN THE CODE! And stayed stopped. It was hung. It did say something about the NVIDIA driver, so hmm. They solved it by Typing some code in the install options to disable the NVIDIA driver.
So we did that. Let’s disable THUNDERBOLT, just in case. We try that. Patrick was prepared for this, and in his Hack kit he had a different installer, one that he made based on instructions from another site. So we try that one. The drive isn’t formatted yet, perhaps that is it. It was something I planned to do when we were in the install screen.
So I mount it in a drive doc and connect that to my laptop. Download 120 Beats Per Minute (2017) Movie In Hd. I format the drive Mac.
OS Extended, and put it back into the Hack. Well, OK then. And by this time it’s midnight and we have things to do in the AM.
I’ll research more and he will, and Stefan will (I was keeping him in the loop via Skype) and we’d tackle it later. THE NEXT DAY. Saturday afternoon arrives. I just ordered it the night before, at like 1. PM. Crucial seems to be giving AMAZON a run for it’s money in terms of delivery speed. I try booting that and. I try again. The computer gets so far, and then restarts.
I try another method. That one too restarts the computer. Patrick was busy today, but Stefan was available, so he drove over with HIS install flash drive. The one that he knew was bullet proof, and what he used to make his Hacks. So he arrives and takes over the command chair.
He looks at the BIOS, adjusts a few things, and then boots off the flash drive. We watch the process. Wait, something is happening. I lean forward looking at the screen!
THE INSTALL SCREEN! YES YES YES! OK, let’s install this. We start the installer, it starts installing. OK, this is working. I must have messed something up on my end with the installer. Min remaining. Then the BIOS popped up again. DAMN, restarted. OK, so we try again, but we need for format the drive first, as it has a partial install on it.
So we go to the Disk Utility and go to wipe the drive. Try again, same message. Try to just partition the drive. So we google the issue. One solution was to use TERMINAL to do the wipe.
Well, I had to format it with my computer. So I do that, put it back into the Hack. Try the install again. One suggestion is that the SATA cable might be bad.
STUPID solution, but what the hell. So we swap out the cable. Boot the installer, go to wipe the drive! YES, that was the issue! We run the installer again. OK, what is this?
Disabled the NVIDIA card, hmmm. RAM I ordered bad? I take it out, put back in the RAM Patrick bought. Reboot, reformat the drive, start the install. OK, let’s unplug the Nvidia card and plug the monitor directly into the motherboard DVI. And Stefan needed a break too. After work I get home to a package.
This was actually the RAM I ordered when I realized that I didn’t order RAM. Only I DID order RAM, it just invoiced separately (this happens on Amazon, apparently. So now I had two orders of RAM. Same base installer as before, but more modifications. Install the new RAM.
Get to the installer, reformat the drive, run the installer. We both curse and hit the desk at the same time. We thought for sure this would do it. This just wasn’t working.
And it was getting late again, the kids school started tomorrow, and I needed to be up at 5: 3. Patrick offered to take my machine. I take the RAM out and set about RMAing it.
He takes my machine and I bid him farewell. TUESDAY. Patrick texts me in the evening. Bad news.” Uh oh. The computer is fried! BUT, they were cheap reading glasses so it wasn’t horrible news. It wasn’t a fried computer. Patrick bought a power supply tester and tested my power supply.
It tested good. OK, so it wasn’t the supply that sizzled. That meant that it was something else. That evening he was nice enough to take apart the computer, unplug all the power and computer connections, take the board out, take out the processor, clean it off, and reinstall it and the heat sink and all the connections to his motherboard. Can you guess what happened next?“Dude!
