Hackintosh commuity-

I tried following the guides here (http://lifehacker.com/5360150/install-snow-leopard-on-your-hackintosh-pc-no-hacking-required) and here (http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-install-for-g31m-t3672/) and no matter what I do (including disabling language support and printer drivers), the installer crashes halfway through the process. Has anyone seen this? How do I resolve this to have a Merry Hackintosh Christmas?

Hardware:
• Gigabyte G31M-ES2L rev 2
• Intel Pentium E6300, 2.8ghz
• SATA, WD 500GB
• SATA DVD
• ASUS EN9400GT
• 4GB DDR2 Memory

Thanks!

the second link (http://www.infinitemac.com/f57/guide-retail-snow-leopard-dvd-install-for-g31m-t3672/) work fine for me, and i thnk its the best! try removing 2gigs of memory, and maybe using another video card to install, i have a GTX 260+ and have to use my old nvidia 6200 to install. try this, and it may help.

I am having a similar problem. Using boot 132 method to installer fails to load and I get a blank screen. I swapped memory banks, went from 4 to 2gb, and it didnt help.

Any suggestions?
