[QUOTE="mcnallykev, post: 1643137, member: 345159"] Hi All, I have had my mac from new and enjoyed it thoroughly. Recently (I was running 16GB RAM) the mac wouldn't turn on. After various tests I wont bore you with I got it running with 2GB. It will not run with any more than that. If I put more in regardless of configuration it gets stuck in a start sequence where I can hear it turn on but there is no display and after about 15 sec it restarts itself and carries on going in that circle. I have reset the NVRAM to no avail so have resigned myself to running on 2GB as I don't want to splash out on a replacement. Which leads to the SSD. As a way of increasing performance I have bought a samsung 500GB 850 EVO SSD. Subsequently I have become aware of the KEXT problem. The drive isnt installed yet as is on it's way to me. Should I install this before I start doing anything and with the old drive in situ. http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/4279-kext-utility-yosemite-258/ (Apoloies if I'm not allowed to post this) Grateful for any advice.
