A few months ago, I tried to install OS X Yosemite via Uni/Multibeast. But when I booted after installing the Chimera Boot Leader, I heard a loud screech, almost like the computer was screaming. I had to turn it off, and just gave up from there on in, and continued to work with Windows 10. Is my laptop actually compatible.

SPECS​
ASUS X550CA
Intel Core i5-3337U CPU (1.8GHz)
8GB RAM
Intel Graphics HD 4000
Don't know motherboard

Thanks for any help :headbang:

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.

I've read that, but when I say I am a real Mac noob, I really mean it. This is just for me to start using Mac without paying £999/$1099 for one to test. I don't know what kexts are, what bootloader I should use, or even how to use Terminal! (Really embarrassing). I am a trueman to Windows, and am trying to use Mac to expand my business.:banghead:​

RehabMan: I know the general gist of it (sorry if I use posh words, I'm British!), but is the loud scream/screech normal? How do I fix it? It almost deafens you.

No idea what you're referring to.

Are you using the Clover guide?

If you didn't follow the Clover guide, and have installed a bunch of stuff from Multibeast... start over. There is almost nothing in Multibeast for laptops, and for your hardware you should be using Clover instead of Chimera.

I was using the UniBeast/MultiBeast guide. I would use Unibeast and make a USB Drive with the Yosemite Installer on it. then I would install Yosemite normally, and split that hard drive into 2 partitions (one for Mac, other for Windows 10) and then install Yosemite. It would boot normally, then use Multibeast and use the DSDT-Free option. At that time, I didn't know how multibeast worked, and tbh I still don't know today. Then, it would restart with the Chimera Boot Loader, I would choose Yosemite, and It would start up, but then would scream at me. I had to turn it off, otherwise I would lose my hearing.

Read post #2.

A clean install with genuine Yosemite using Clover will result in non-working audio. Hence no possibility of the laptop "screaming".
