Hi all, I'm having a bit of a shocker with my first Hackintosh build (yup - welcome to the club ). I can install El Capitan (.5) no problem with the awesome instructions on this site - the problem is the Nvidia GTX980 I'm trying to use with it - I'm encountering problem 4 ("Monitor goes to sleep at the end of the boot sequence") but I'm not using one of the machine identifiers listed there, but rather MacPro3,1 (config.plist attached).
I'm confident that its problem 4 rather than a complete system freeze since I can use VNC from another machine to do a remote session and its responsive. When in the VNC session "About this Mac" shows the Nvidia card as correctly detected. Weirdly it also says "iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015)". But I specifically selected "MacPro3,1" in MultiBeast and the config.plist appears to agree with that.
I tried the "Pike R. Alpha" fix, which you'll be able to see in the config.plist, but that had no effect.
System:
* Mother board: Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
* CPU: i7-6700K
* Graphics card: Asus GTX980 OC (4GB)
* RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB
* SSD: Crucial 250GB
Anyone got any ideas? I'm at a complete lost!
After installing 10.11.5, I had to rebuild the kext cache and stuff, so that the Pike R. Alpha fix could do it's find and replace thing. VNC or Shared Screen let's you type the commands on another computer while the monitor is blank. But I'm using iMac17,1 so I don't know if that will help your MacPro3,1 problem. Did you check System Information report to make sure it's set to MacPro3,1?
