Hi there.

Did you download the NVidia Web-Drivers from our download section?

Sadly the Apple certificate has expired on these. However a new driver was issued, but unofficially, which extended the life of them:

Have you tried this verson?

Thanks for reply,
No I didn't install this version.
Which one should I install first? CUDADriver or Web Driver.
And I can install both of them and then reboot or I should reboot after each install?

It didn’t fix
In login page display switch between black screen and login page every 5 -10 seconds
I also get a message when show the black screen

you shouldn't be using both nvda_drv_vrl=1 nvda_drv=1 boot arguments, use only nvda_drv_vrl=1

may not need amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1

Don't install the CUDA driver. It hasn't been updated properly.

The error confirms your problem is GPU related.

Remove all those boot-aruments as @Feartech suggested.

It didn't work
I removed nvda_drv=1 and amfi_get_out_of_my_way=0x1
I swaped OpenCore files and changed EFI configs to Debug mode
But nothing changed.

Have you booted the system using your iGPU?

This is an HD 530 chipset.

If you can, check if there is a System Preferences pane for the NVidia driver.

 

[AidenEliom]

I disabled iGPU from bios.
For booting into macOS, I remove Geforce and Nvidia extensions from /Library/Extensions/ and /System/Library/Extensions/ with macOS recovery's terminal.
And Yes, there is a Nvidia driver pane in System Preferences and it says Nvidia Web Driver is not installed (after removing extensions).
