[QUOTE="328ifun, post: 1620026, member: 337571"] A friend gave it to me but the power light would steadily blink (which indicates a ram problem). I moved the ram around on the boards and got it to POST. I had 1 red light lit on the top board indicating bad ram modules, but the mac still ran fine. I then took my SSD out of my PC and to my surprise it booted from it and I was able to manuever around in windows perfectly fine on the Mac. I then decided that I would begin to migrate parts from my PC over to the Mac to upgrade it. I started with the video cards; I removed the USB PCI-E card that was in the mac and installed a 9600gt and a 650. And hooked them up with the DIY cable. I hope nothing got damamged. But then again, I am using trying to install OSX with a downloaded version of Snow Leopard, could it be the installer itself? If not, what do you think is damaged? Maybe the power supply took a hit when I tried to power the video cards? But if so, wouldn't the power supply fail altogether? Thanks for your help, much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
