Hey, I forgot my admin password, had to reset it, I couldn't boot from disc because of the GTX, I swapped it for my old 8800 GT, reset the pw, put the GTX back in, working great, installed 10.5.8, getting the same error as I did when I tried to boot from the installation dvd (10.5.2) with the GTX in, since the drivers aren't in 10.5.2 I assume it's the same issue.

Is there anyway I can go into safe mode or restore before I updated? I booted into windows 7 to check that the graphics card is working, and.. it is.

Anyone know why this is happening?

EDIT: based on some googling it is because I've not updated the GTX drivers ugh
