CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, 2500Mhz
Memory 2x 2Gb DDR2 800

I already took some distro of Leopard and Snow Leopard to run on Intel PC but whenever I make it run through the DVD it starts but when it appears the 1st image with the Apple symbol, the PC restarts.
What in doing wrong?
Someone can help me I'm anxious to test the Mac OS X

Could be a number of things, I would recomend doing a Retail Install with the Empire EFI disk.
or using the prepatched SnowOSX Universal 3.6.
Its sounds like a chipset incompatibility, most likely you dont have the kext needed on the hard drive to boot properly, but it sounds like the DVD has the right kext if you cant start up from the hard drive using the DVD.
