Try to find out which chipsets your motherboard uses. Add them to your post and maybe to your title as you may get more responses.
What are chipsets? You can use your motherboard as an example. It generally should have whats called a Northbridge & Southbridge chipset. The Northbridge deals with your CPU, RAM & Graphics and your Southbridge deals with the rest (hard drives, usb, expansion slots) Signature You can also place this information in your "Signature". It will then appear on every post you make. Please keep your signatures reasonably sized. We do not want to see full page specs.

^ Thanks for guiding me with the required information.
I've posted a screenie of my Motherboard Chipsets.. Northbridge and the Southbridge. Please let know if anything more is needed. 2ndly, i guess if am not wrong, Dell uses same chipsets for the same product line throughout the world. The reason, i did come across videos and articles where ppl are able to install iPC on my Dell Studio 1535 and works flawlessly.. although some where with Onboard GFX and some with ATI like mine. Waiting for the replies. Thanks in advance once again.

Have you tried the following boot-flags?
Code:
-v acpi=off Code:
-v -x acpi=off MOBO: Z77MX-QUO-AOS CPU: Core i7 3770K GPU: MSI N760 TF 2GD5/OC Case: Modded MacPro2,1 Memory: 32GB Corsair Vengeance (CMY32GX3M4A1600C9) Wifi: Airport Extreme bcm94321MCA BIOS: HermitCrab Labs H3A.816M Monitor: AOC Q2963Pm 29" WFHD 2560x1080 21:9 Interests: KDE on Apple Darwin, Keeping it real with the command line, Helping those that help themselves

Well ppl have got the same laptop as mine to work successfully. + If i boot from the DVD w/o using -v or -x or -f.. am able to get the Apple logo and then get the setup wizard and also able to install the OSX, BUT it wont give any options or install any kinda drivers. It does boot into the Mac OSX after installation, but no video or so, it wont recognize my laptop keyboard / mouse. Only external USB keyboard mouse works. I get display but no display drivers are installed hence no native resolution. No Sound no WIFI, etc etc.
