Update: instead of trying to log into my account I tried the guest user account and it loaded fine. Any suggestions or is my computer gone for good? Thanks.
#KSP MAC MINI 2012 PASSWORD#
Is this my problem? The syntax error? Also, the first time I booted into single user mode I told it to boot the system and that got me past the blank white screen and to my login, but as soon as I put my password in the beach ball started spinning and didn’t stop for 10 minutes, so I force shut it down and restated it and did the above where I got the syntax error. I don’t know very much about computer commands in this format so i typed in “select startup disk” it replied with “syntax error near unexpected token disk”. So a couple minutes ago I held down CMD+S and booted into single user mode. So I reinstalled OS X el captain overnight, and it’s still doing the blank white screen thing. So I tried to boot it normally again and same blank white screen. I forced it to shut down, and rebooted to disk utility and ran first aid all disks. Well I got to the Apple logo and the loading bar and it got about halfway across when it just went to a blank white screen. its been running fantastic for 5 days now but Yesterday I was poking around on the internet when it decided to shut down. Be careful about the brand, as some of the third party cards don't have the same features of the actual NVIDIA cards.Īlright so I’m having some serious issues with this computer and I’m running out of options.
One less thing I have to worry about.įrom what I've seen in the last few weeks you can figure on paying $250+ for a used GTX680, depending on the memory size, vendor and whether or not it's flashed for a Mac.

Based on what I've seen in the current market, a flashed GTX680 is incrementally more than a plain PC version, so I may forego doing it myself and just buying one already flashed. I haven't yet decided if I'll buy a flashed or unflashed card and do the flashing myself. To accomplish this I'll go with a GTX680 as it can handle four monitors simultaneously.
#KSP MAC MINI 2012 UPGRADE#
As a result I'll have to upgrade my video card as well, since the 5870 won't handle four monitors. That being said, I am planning on upgrading to 30" ACDs in a few weeks and keeping my existing 23" ACDs. While this was a year or two ago, I seem to recall paying around $150 for the card. I bought it on eBay from someone who flashes regular PC cards and includes all the necessary cables/adapters with the card, which saved me some $$ from having to go out and source them myself. I use it to drive two 23" ACDs and it's flashed so I get a boot screen. I currently run an ATI 5870 with 1GB of RAM on my 3,1 and it handles nearly everything I throw at it. Unless you're looking to drive multiple monitors and game heavily, a GTX680 might be overkill. The reason try to avoid flashed 7950 / 7970 is mainly becauseġ) much more expensive for relatively simply extra workĢ) lots of improperly flashed card out thereģ) the card may not come with the original ROM (this is important if anything goes wrong) This card should not worth $300 nowadays.īuy a normal PC Card, flash it by yourself is a much better choice. I bought a brand new R9 280 (basically just a different name of the 7950) for just $150 more than 2 years ago. In some case, even a direct mini 6 to 8pin can work, but not recommended in general.Īlso, it seems you double post the 7950's link, but didn't post the 7970's link. However, it won't fit natively in a cMP because of the 6+8pin requirement. In term of performance, 7970 is better (by a pretty good margin). would I be able to notice a difference in performance if I upgrade the processors to the 3.2ghz? P.P.S.I know that both of the video cards cost more than I paid for the computer itself. I have found a pair of xeon 3.2ghz processors for $150. or is there a better option for cheaper? I bought this for a light gaming computer if that helps at all. I am just wanting to know the better of the two. you can find the 7950 here: and the 7970 here: if you care to look. I found a radeon HD7950 and a radeon HD 7970 on eBay, it says on both listings that they are intended for Mac. I know nothing about video cards except that this one should probably be replaced or upgraded. it has dual Intel xeon 2.8ghz processors, 10 GB ram which I already plan to upgrade, 320 GB hard drive and the video card is a Raedon 2600 XT.

I just bought a Mac Pro 3.1 off eBay that was in very good condition for $200.
