Yup, that's exactly right. This is the problem, I can't get any media to be recognised by the mac to install macosx. Have almost tried everything except the retail DVDs i am being sent. Strange since no one else seems to have issues booting a install.dmg from a usb.

No, the ssd is a normal ssd. I didn't install Windows via bootcamp. I installed it like every other pc, booted off usb. The issue here is the firmware is not recognising any mac formatted usb I insert. I didn't think the Windows hdd would have anything to do with a pre boot environment, am I wrong?

The mac came without a hdd. I put in a ssd. I installed win 10 via usb. I hold the options on boot and it only ever shows the win 10 install on the ssd. No matter what I do I can't get it to boot off anything else.

On my experience, if it's ram or cpu, the pc will blue screen. If it's a psu failure it will completely turn off, like the plugs been pulled. I think your on the right track with psu problem.

Hi, I recently acquired a mac pro 4,1 (early 2009?) I am having tremendous trouble getting osx installed on it. I have successfully installed Windows 10 on it, and all hardware inside checks out. Problem is, I only have access to a Windows 10 pc and an old power mac g5. I have tried multiple...

What are the bsod errors? Stop code? Had very similar issue myself, system was overall very buggy, slow and unreliable. Ran memtest, 10 passes. I still suspected the ram because of the stop codes were all memory related. Replaced ram, and it's working perfect. Memtest86 isn't as reliable as...

Anyone stumbles on this, it was the ram. Memtest86 for 8hrs and no errors, had a hunch it was the ram, swapped them out and everything working great.

Hello, i have recently got back into pc gaming from roughly a 2 year break, and decided to upgrade my rig a little bit, currently i have : i5 6600 mobo ga b150 d3h gtx 1070 aero itx 16gb ddr4 corsair vengence 2133mhz cmx 1000 psu 80+ bronze kingston 240gb ssd and WD 1tb hdd all running on my...

All those errors seem to be ram related. All the blue screens i have encountered with the irql error have always been ram related, this may be an exception rather than the rule. Error in non paged area is ram related aswell. Make sense too as it loads windows/install into the ram, hits a bad...

What was the error message in the blue screen? I noticed you didnt mention that. Is it the same everytime or different? It will be something like "irq_no_less_or_equal"

Oh yea, one more thing. Make sure they are plugging into graphics card hdmi and not motherboard. Good luck.

Im not familiar with that specific graphics card, but is there a way to plug it in via other means? If you can find the pdf manual online for his/her particular tv, it may shed some light as to what the tv is capable of outputting. I have had a tv that i had to restart everytime i changed the...

Random restarts are pretty typical of a failing psu. If not psu, check temps, another cause for random restarts.

Do you have the motherboard speaker plugged in? Usually it would give you a beep code to determine problem. I had a somewhat similar problem once, ended up being a bad stick of ram.
