Works perfect on my system. I'm running the latest version of Safari. It was updated not too long ago, I believe. If not try this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5248074?tstart=0 You can also download AppCleaner to uninstall Flash and reinstall.

Installing from a USB drive is more efficient and faster, and yes it can be done. I'd recommend some ISO burning software for doing it on a Windows machine, since that's the easiest way and it works perfect. I would however recommend Mavericks over Lion; it's a much better OS and it fixed a...

Actually, it's easier than installing Windows and takes less time. Mine works nearly flawless with no bugs. http://www.tonymacx86.com/420-building-customac-buyer-s-guide-april-2014.html

I'd go with Mavericks. It's easy to install — easier than Linux. Installing from a USB drive is the way to go. Grab the UniBeast app. http://blog.chron.com/techblog/2013/10/what-its-like-running-mavericks-on-the-oldest-compatible-imac/

Thanks, guys. I actually mis-posted the title. It should read as, "Hackintosh Stuck at PCI Configuration Mountain Lion" Mavericks actually works perfect on this build. Thanks again!

Thought I'd post my final results. Today I gave it another shot. I didn't even attempt 4.5GHz because I know it won't do it, so I started at 4.4GHz. Well, 4.4 wouldn't work at all. It reached over 80C in just a few seconds. 4.3 didn't quite make it either it was still quite hot. The highest I...

There's actually a know issue with Photoshop flickering in Windows 8. I think by now it might only be an AMD issue. Nevertheless, I think hardware makers were faster at releasing drivers than Microsoft doing what was needed on their end.

It's been two years since I've built a system and played with Windows. (Mac person here). I can say that a 2009 Windows disk seems way outdated! My network card didn't work out of the box and for some strange reason I can't get download speeds above 500kbs, when in OS X I'm getting over 5MBps...

The voltage sounds a little high but I'm not familiar with overclocking AMD. I'd say if it's skipping the bios screen before booting it's not stable. Either that or it's so fast the monitor hasn't picked up the signal yet and you think it booted twice. Are there two system beeps?

Resat the heatsink with the proper air flow directions and reapplied thermal paste. Seems to run a bit cooler but I'm not able to stabilize anything above 4.0Ghz. Currently, I'm over an hour into Prime95 and it's not gone over 70C. Temps during tests have ranged from 51-78C. Also managed to get...

Managed to get it stable for 10 minutes at 4.2Ghz with a 1.2v. It was consuming around 100w of power and temps were around 72-73 C. I decided that I wanted something a little cooler, and possibly even more stable. Right now as I'm typing this message, I'm pushing 25 minutes at 4.0Ghz at a 1.1v...
