I have SteamOS running on an AMD graphics card. The AMD drivers are supported in the latest versions. I don't think we have enough information from trifecta to give a proper solution. If trifecta could post the word for word error message then we could start from there.Good info. Seems that the SteamOS FAQ now references non-Nvidia GPUs, but the main page (linked earlier) has not been updated. From the FAQ:
Q: What are the SteamOS Hardware Requirements?
Intel or AMD 64-bit capable processor
4GB or more memory
250GB or larger disk
NVIDIA, Intel, or AMD graphics card
USB port or DVD drive for installation

Default Installation
You will need to create a SteamOS System Restore USB stick to perform this install. The image provided here requires at least a 1TB disk.
Download the default SteamOS beta installation
Format a 4GB or larger USB stick with the FAT32 filesystem. Use "SYSRESTORE" as the partition name.
Unzip the contents of SteamOSImage.zip to this USB stick to create the System Restore USB stick.
Put the System Restore USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11 or F12 will bring up the BIOS boot menu).
Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like "UEFI: Patriot Memory PMAP". If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support in your BIOS setup.
Select "Restore Entire Disk" from the GRUB menu.
When it is complete it will shutdown. Power on the machine to boot into your freshly re-imaged SteamOS.

first of all what are your system specs.
second how did you install steam os.there was no support for non uefi but now tere is .
do you have uefi bios?
can you tell exactly what is the error message.
did you install folowing these steps?
The second method is based on the Debian Installer. It requires multiple configuration steps:
Download the custom SteamOS beta installation
Unzip the SteamOS.zip file to a blank, FAT32-formatted USB stick.
Put the USB stick in your target machine. Boot your machine and tell the BIOS to boot off the stick. (usually something like F8, F11, or F12 will bring up the BIOS boot menu).
Make sure you select the UEFI entry, it may look something like "UEFI: Patriot Memory PMAP". If there is no UEFI entry, you may need to enable UEFI support in your BIOS setup.
Selected "Automated install" from the menu.
The rest of the installation is unattended and will repartition the drive and install SteamOS.
After installation is complete, log onto the resulting system (using the Gnome session) with the predefined "steam" account. The password is "steam". Run steam, accept the EULA, and let it bootstrap. Logoff the steam account.
Log on with the "desktop" account. The password is "desktop".
From a terminal window, run ~/post_logon.sh. This will prompt for a password - enter "desktop". This script will perform the post-install customizations, delete itself, then reboot into the recovery partition capture utility.
Confirm "y" to continue and the recovery partition will be created. When it is finished, reboot into your freshly installed SteamOS.
i whould recomend doing a fresh install folowing the above steps.
