Hi,
Threw together my first desktop, and first hackintosh today. Unfortunately, after the first part of hte install (when the computer reboots for the first time) i cannot seem to get past a certain stage of the second part of installation. I cannot finish installing Sierra before the computer reboots.
Mostly followed Stork's build and instructions here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...i-gene-i5-6600k-gigabyte-gtx-950.181272/#BIOS
My components:
i7-6700k
Asus Maximus Gene VIII
corsair vengeance RAM
samsung 850 evo SSD
No discrete GPU
My install steps:
SMBIOS details:
Product Name: iMac14.2
Product Version 1.0
...
Board Version: iMac14,2
...
Any ideas what's causing this issue?
Please let me know if you would need any other info to diagnose this problem - i'd be more than happy to provide it.

My install steps:
- Updated my BIOS, changed the settings as recommended by Stork.
- Rebooted into Sierra install
- Part 1 runs fine, reboots
- Among boot drives, select newly installed macOS on samsung SSD.
- Installer loads. Select Country. Select Keyboard.
- Select Ethernet on "How Do You Connect" menu (my computer is connected via ethernet to my router.)
- Select "Using DHCP" for "TCPIP Connection Type"
- Leave DHCP Clinet ID, DNS servers, Search Domains, and Proxy Server all blank. Click continue.
- Gray screen. Mouse freezes in position. After 1-2 seconds, the spinning gear shows up, but my mouse is still unresponsive.
- Gear continues to spin for a few seconds, then computer reboots
