gigabyte ga-ex58-ud5 and evga gts 250 problems!

I have been having loads of problems getting my system to work; this will be my next method to try. My video card is an EVGA NVidia Geforce GTS 250. Motherboard is Gigabyte ga-ex58-ud5. I've been spending days trying different osx86 distros, reading insanely mac and this forum, and still no avail

I think my problem is my video card... I can't get iDeneb nor iPC to work, no matter what I change in BIOS (ACPI changes, ram customization, bios upgrade, disabling items), add to the boot parameters (busratio=20 -F -v -x fsbus=133, graphics mode="") or change in the customization install (different kernels, different nvidia drivers, etc).

I managed to find kexts for my GA-EX58-UD5 from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=149505. I also found a kext for my specific EVGA nvidia geforce gts 250 1024MB graphics card from http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...p/t113489.html.

The problem is, I don't know how to apply the required kext's to my system so it can boot into OSX. My system either panics or gets continual reboots amongst anything I've tried so far, so it must be the kext's that is needed.

If I understand your guide correctly, all I have to do is:
1. Follow this guide to the tee.
2. Insert my custom kext for my machine to customize chameleon and make it boot.

Or is there anything else I should know? Looking for much needed advise!

system specs:
Intel I7 920
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5
EVGA NVidia GeForce GTS 250 1024MB
3x2gb OCZ 7-7-7 1600MHZ DDR3
Seagate 1TB 7200.3 (3.5", currently not connected)
Seagate 320GB 7200 (2.5", using for install only)
