Hello guys,

This thing here is going out of control, so I decided to ask for help. Thank you all in advice for trying to read it or to help me. Sorry for any mistakes, since english is not my first language.


I had an old PC pre-built from HP (HP Pavilion Slimline s5620br Desktop), running with Windows 7, that you can check the specifics here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02529337&cc=be&dlc=en&lc=ru

Since I'm starting to work as an editor, I used my MacBook to edit small things in FinalCut, but as I've got a nice new job now I decided to upgrade my PC (which I already wanted to upgrade for gaming), so that I could edit on it. The problem was that I should edit on Mac for this job, and since I don't have too much money and things are way way expensive where I live (Brazil), I thought I could make a Hackintosh.

I searched a bit, bought a month ago new GPU (Nvidia Geforce GTX 760), a new PSU (IceAge IA500HP80) and a new case (Corsair 200R). They all worked nice. A few days ago I tried to install the Hackintosh with Niresh after I bought a new MOBO (Gigabyte Z87M-D3H) and a CPU (i7 4770). I did a second partition before it in the same HD that I had before, to boot the Hackintosh, since I didn't have the money to buy a new HD or even a new RAM yet.

It installed with no problem, but when I tried to boot it I've got the boot0: error message. I've tried to solve it in a few ways, trying boot flags and googling around it, but I couldn't try the solution given to connect the HD in my MacBook with the SATA-USB connector, since I didn't have the time to buy it yet. I tried to install the Hackintosh with UniBeat, but a few Hard Drive partition errors didn't let me do it again.

Finally, I surrendered in my attempt to make the Hackintosh work, and decided to go back to my Windows 7. For my surprise I couldn't since when I tried to boot from the HD it either gave me the "boot0: error" or said that my device was not bootable.

Since I didn't have a DVD with Windows 7, I tried to boot it from my USB Pendrive, which got me only a black screen with a small line flashing on and off. I am able to access the BIOS, since those errors appear after the initial Gigabyte image.

It is getting worse and worse, from time to time the PC doesn't show any video on the monitor when I turn it on, but if I keep trying and trying, it starts to show video again.

I think the problem is in my Hard Drive, is there any way to fix it from the BIOS? Can someone help me? I'm getting really frustrated, I just want my PC back, I don't even care anymore if I'm going to lose my files or whatever.


Thank you all once again!

you probably need to oil your capacitors on the motherboard. ive read that gigabyte boards come with relatively dry caps so you're probably getting data leakage from the hackintosh HDD coming from the capacitors into your windows boot drive.
