Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

Sweetleu52 said:
Hello!

I've had quite a time getting my graphics card to load. Without the GPU plugged into the board it boots to the desktop and has the default graphics chosen. I can set it to NVIDIA web drivers as many times as I want but it will default back. I've tried the solution using clover to install the emu variable fix and then wrote them to target disk too. I don't know if this is even the full extent of the problem. Whenever I attach the GPU (GTX 1050 Ti) I'm greeted with the "IOConsoleUsers: gIOScreenLockState 3, hs..."

I've attached the plist as well and my relevant build is:

Intel i5-7600K
Asus Z270E
GTX 1050 Ti

Thanks so much and I appreciate any help!

What is this boot argument doing, -disablegfxfirmware?

Without the boot argument the system gets caught here in the boot process, otherwise it boots fine:

Sorry... what does it means? I boot from an 250gb nvme. On another 250gb nvme i’ve installed windows.
When I boot for the first time I have no problems (excluding the wrong resolution/aspect ratio) but when I go to install nvidia webdrivers and reboot the boot stops on the apple logo.

Hi, did you manage to find out how to resolve your problem? I'm having the same one with a clean install of High Sierra and a GTX1060...
 
Had a working install of High Sierra, installed the Nvidia drivers and restarted, now I can't get past this. Not sure what is going on as the ID doesn't match the card ID

AORUS Gaming 9
Intel I9 7980XE
Gtx Titan X

Anybody got a fix for gioscreenlockstate 3 ???

Remove the graphics card (physically) and try re-installing the Web drivers completely before you re-insert it. Needs to restart before it completely installs the drivers. That's what I'm doing right now.

I just tried this and unfortunately it does not work for me. This is with a GTX1080. I can boot fine on the integrated graphics, but get the gioscreenlockstate 3 error when booting with -v.

EDIT: Here is what did work for me. I disabled the integrated graphics in the BIOS and now it boots without any problems.

Problem 6: You select Nvidia Web Drivers in the menu bar or the Nvidia Driver Manager preference pane but when you restart OS X Default Graphics Driver is checked.
This is caused when your board does not have native NVRAM support such as Gigabyte 100 series boards.

Fix: setup emulated NVRAM to store the nvda_drv=1 boot flag in boot-args.

Download the latest Clover installer pkg here, launch the installer and choose customize here:
After that make sure you have selected EmuVariableUefi-64:
Proceed with the Clover upgrade install and reboot when done. After the reboot open up your system preferences and go the the Nvidia Driver Manager. It is a good idea to make sure you have the most up to date driver so go to the updates tab and click the Check Now button. If there is an update, perform the update and reboot when it tell you to. You should be done at this point. If there isn't an update proceed to the next step.
If there was no upgrade, click on the Graphics Drivers tab and then choose the radio button next to the NVIDIA Web Drive. Reboot.***

I am really struggling getting these NVIDIA web drivers to work. This #6 is my problem.
I have a Gigabyte Z87 x UD5 th, with an Intel i7-4770K CPU. I have a gigabyte GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI installed. The motherboard has intel graphics which I have disabled in bios. I am running high sierra 10.13.1 (17B48), and I have the NVIDIA driver package 378.10.10.20.107, and it was installed after enabling SIP, and then setting SIP back.
I tried the clover update above, including running the RC Scripts, and also tried multi beast, there was an option for clover boot loader UEFI with Emulated NVRAM. If I turn on the nvda_drv=1, it boots to a black screen. If I have that off, it will not load the NVIDIA drivers, it goes to the os default.
I believe the pertinent sections of the config.plist is below.
Can someone please offer some suggestions to get me past this?
Thank you in advance.
