pastrychef's Asus ROG Strix Z370-G Gaming (WI-FI AC) build w/ i9-9900K + AMD 6600 XT

Disk Warrior is a program for data recovery. The only problem with my computer right now is that it will only boot into safe mode. I'm currently trying to replace to the EFI on my install disk and boot from that.
If you are not concerned with data recovery then format the disk and reinstall the OS.
 
I don't need data recovery, but I do need my files. The issue is that first my system was taking up too much space, and now it isn't booting up unless in Safe Mode. Even in Safe Mode, my password is not letting me login.

Isn't that the same thing ?
Anyway, your problem is off-topic in this build guide - You should start a help thread of your own.
 
I'm pretty sure this thread is for people who are having problems with this exact build and motherboard. Also, why would I go through the hassle of reinstalling my whole OS when I can conveniently find a fix for my bootloop??
 
@pastrychef I was able to get into my account in Safe Mode, but the "System" is still taking up close to 180Gb out of my 250Gb M.2. This is causing lots of issues with terminal and other programs. Do you have any ideas to fix this and the bootloop?

Try looking in /var/VM/ and see how much room your sleepimage is taking up. If it's taking up too much space, you can delete it.

But, yes, I agree with P1LGRIM, this is not a build issue and more of a macOS usage issue.
 
Ok, but I can't boot into MacOS unless I use Safe Mode. This just happened today and my computer reboots when it gets to the Apple Logo booting screen.

Boot in verbose and try to see what's giving you your trouble and it definitely sounds like you need a larger SSD.
 
Are these all from the same boot??
One of them is complaining about video card. I don't know which video card you are using right now.
I think one of them is complaining about boot cache. I think you need to rebuild the kext cache.
Again, remember to check the main directory of your main system drive to make sure you don't have any Clover stuff there.
They are from the same set of settings, first two pictures from one boot, reset then second pair of two pictures from immediate another boot, where I aimed for better quality of the pictures (I have to take screenshots made off a movie, because it scrolls too fast). I've booted with USB and rebuild the kext cache, but it didnt change anything. What do you mean by 'main directory', do you mean the OS root ('/')?
