Hi there!
Lifelong mac user, recently got annoyed at the price of a Mac Pro, and decided to build for the first time. I'm a developer so pretty tech savvy, but this is all pretty new to me.
Went for a Gigabyte H270-G3 mobo, 8gb Ballistix Elite RAM, an Intel 7700k, and a Gigabyte GTX 1050 ti, all recommended on the buyers guide, I've created the USB installer using Unibeast 8.1.0, tried my UEFI on a bunch of different combinations of settings, all with UEFI as the storage boot, and trying different combinations of XHCI being enabled/disabled etc.
Most combinations all seem to end up in the same place, the USB boots, I select the High Sierra installer, and then it goes to the black screen with the Apple logo, then the screen with the loading bar under the Apple logo, it starts off fairy quick, gets to half way in a few minutes, then it starts to slow right down and it's currently been going for about an hour and a half, and it's nearly at the end, I'm fairy certain it's not suppose to take this long?
For further info, I tried it yesterday and it got to the end, and then just stayed there, so I rebooted it, then it sped through the loading bar and then allowed me to begin installing it, and then it would crash before making any progress on the actual install.
Would greatly appreciate any help!
Many thanks,
George
