[Guide] El Capitan on the Skylake H170N-WIFI

[AlphaFox]

Noticed that I'm unable to shut down computer. цру ш choose shut down from apple logo manu computer turns off, light on the case turns off for 1-2 seconds and that turns on again. Basically computer restarts on shutdown command.

Any ideas how to fix it?

In clover configurator you have to check fix shutdown on the main page. Worked for me.

For me, I went into the BIOS and set ErP = Enabled. This disables "Wake on LAN" (and some other wake options) for some motherboards as is recommended. I have a Gigabyte GA-H170-Gaming 3 motherboard.

Ok, so this guy MacMerlin did all this step after erase all the UEFI BIOS boot options?....or he didn't had to?



After doing this, in OS X, open Cloverconfigurator, mount the EFI?.... and where do you changed the name to BOOT?

Yes you have to follow MacMerlin's way if you have the same issue. The BOOT is a folder, and its in the EFI.

This is the problem that I posted earlier in this thread, and how I solve it.

"Multiple EFI entries in BIOS. Please follow this link to fix this issue http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g...boot-entries-prevent-further-problems.175274/. The #53 post by MacMerlin on page 6 helps a lot for my case."

It's a serious problem, and it seems like an entry will be created for every reboot of the system.

Instead I solved it by writing my own boot entry into Clover EFI Shell. Boot to Clover loader. Enter EFI Shell. As shell loads, note the label of the HDD/SSD your efi and OS X are installed on. FS0 in my case. Then bcfg boot dump. VERY CAREFULLY add a new entry after the highest one in the list. I had to type "bcfg boot add 05 FS0:\EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI CloverBoot" w/o the quotes.

Then, booted into OS X, mounted EFI, and renamed /BOOT to BOOT.bak

Tested rebooting several times and seems resolved. (I did have to go into Bios and select my new CloverBoot as boot option 1).
Hope it helps! Use with caution.

Can confirm this worked for me also:

After removing all of the extra boot entries following #1 post instructions from link metioned above, added own boot entry following #53 post from same thread: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/g...ntries-prevent-further-problems.175274/page-6

All nice and clean after many reboots, attaching what my bcfg boot dump looks now...

i wanna thank you for this beautiful guide. i bought my parts according to this guide and installed OS X with a single problem which wasnt really hard to find out for a newbie.
i hooked up the installation USB to my windows laptop and opened config.plist using wordpad. changed the value under fix ownership from 'false' to 'true' and i solved my freeze at apple logo problem. just beware post install, when you replace config file in EFI with config file from post install folder you have to change the same value there too otherwise you will have the same freeze and to solve it you will have to install OS X from scratch like me or theres a shortcut but I'm a newbie so i had to installed it all over again.
I wanna say i have some weird problem which prevents me from accessing Bios settings so may be i had this apple logo freeze problem because i couldn't set recommended bios settings which is mentioned in the first page.
if i get this setup going for a good week without any major problems i ll buy BCM94352Z chip too. no freeze no shutdown no visual artifact problems its just awesome thanks again!

So as I continued to use my Hackintosh, I keep finding things I'll need to fix. However, the biggest problem I'm having is that my HDMI ports aren't sending signals anymore.

Suddenly when I turned it on, my monitor doesn't seem to get anything from my Hackintosh. I've tried it on multiple different monitors and I get the same result. My monitors HDMI works on other computers. At first I thought that my RAM could've been lose. Then I tried using the DVI port. I converted my DVI to VGA, and it works. So I have a problem with the HDMI ports not sending signals.

So as I continued to use my Hackintosh, I keep finding things I'll need to fix. However, the biggest problem I'm having is that my HDMI ports aren't sending signals anymore.

Suddenly when I turned it on, my monitor doesn't seem to get anything from my Hackintosh. I've tried it on multiple monitors and I get the same result. At first I thought that my RAM could've been lose. Then I tried using the DVI port. I converted my DVI to VGA, and it works. Both HDMI ports aren't working.

my top HDMI port works (haven't tried the bottom one) and my DVI port works but no matter what sequence of hooking them up, shutting down, etc, I can NOT get two monitors to function at once.

If I boot into the OS with the HDMI connection on one monitor and then plug in the DVI connection, the screen flickers like it's thinking about it and then the DVI monitor just says no DVI signal.

If I power off and hook up the DVI connector and unplug the HDMI, the DVI monitor works perfectly and the HDMI monitor acts like there is no signal if I plug it's cable in.

If I boot with both connected, I can get the bios/post on both screens at once but once it's past the clover boot menu it glitches out and there's this pale blue screen with sort of a ghostly image of the top bar of OSX but nothing on the rest of the screen. I can click the mouse/hit keys and hear the OS making the "you can't do that" sound but nothing responds on the screen.

I've about given up but figured I would ask for help here.

I clicked the intel 530 graphics in multibeast and it shows up properly with 3D accelerated graphics when I run Cinebench but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get two monitors going at once.

The only solution I've come up with is to use a USB to HDMI adapter to send a signal to my non-primary screen and the reason for that is due to it not displaying a smooth 60hz signal. It's got some sort of weird janky 40~50hz thing going that seems really "off" and not that great. I tried a plugable brand USB 3.0 adapter but it would work for about 5 minutes and then the screen would just lock up unless I unplugged and plugged it back in.

I emailed back and forth with the company a bit and they basically said that at some point, OSX started doing some weird stuff with their display tech that made USB display pretty hard to nail down the way it can be handled on a Windows OS so right now, I'm just dealing with the awful usb 2.0 display but seriously just considering grabbing an el gato thunderbolt dock and using my mid 2015 MBPr as my main office device and taking it home every night. I take it with me to the office every day anyways so it wouldn't be an extra burden.

It's just frustrating given the time/effort/money I put into the hackintosh to come THIS far only to have something seemingly so trivial kill the experience for me.

Hi I am on a Z170N-WIFI card and it work fine, except for Audio.. I can't have any audio ( I have done the clover stuffs more than twice and it still doesn't work) . Anyone have a solution ??
Thank you !

[EDIT] Ok, I don't know how, but I have fix it ! I have actually use the difference audio script that we can see on tonymacx86 forum, and I have also deleted all the extras clover Bios ( there is a guide here ) ...

Total noob here (perhaps it's not my hackintosh )

I've gone through the setup numerous times - I'm using the snazzylabs build to a T, other than my Samsung is a 1TB drive (doubt that should matter from what I've read).

I can't for the life of me get the install started - the furthest I get is clover (do I need to set any further options in clover on the initial install?) - I keep getting "this version of OS X is not supported" and I get the MAC identifier for the reason. I've tried download and resetting the config list numerous times. I'm using the HD530 graphics - I ordered the wifi chip that snazzy labs pointed to from amazon. can't get this lovely machine to get any further.

Also, fwiw, I'm using the F3 bios at the moment, not really sure I want to go to the F4c since it's beta - but I did see ammulder used that in the latest edit.

Thank you anyone for the help... I've searched similar issues, but no replies to those experiencing what I'm experiencing.

• Copy the config.plist you downloaded over the default one at EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

• config.plist need replace ?
  And h170n-wifi-nvidia-config.plist and config.plist need together leave ?
