No idea unless we could get a picture.

I think the installer fails in some part and "shuts down" the computer.

Hey man, I have the exact same error when I try to boot via installation USB. That and nawcom's modCD are the only ways to get into my Hackint0sh, since the bootloader in my HD doesn't work. I honestly don't know how to fix it, since I'm also stuck w/ my Hackint0sh, but you could try this guide for your Phenom:

I did this with my Athlon II X4 645 and got it at least booting. The written guide also comes w/ a Youtube tutorial; Hope this helps!

Good luck,

Happens when booting sets systemshutdown=true i fixed it by adding bootflags arch=386 -force64 (AMD version of 64bit)
