Yes, because I already have done this 2-3 posts back...

If you expect me to look at prior posts, use quoted replies.

Archief - All the files you need for my hardware.
Flickering - The video I made so you can see what I mean with "the problem".

"Problem Reporting" files are incomplete.
Read FAQ, "Problem Reporting" again. Carefully. Attach all requested files/output.

Use the gen_debug.sh tool mentioned in the FAQ, that way it is less likely you'll omit something.

I have the NUC7i3BNH.

Please fix your profile as per laptop FAQ.

I will also try a other monitor.

OsxAptioFix3Drv-64.efi not recommended in the guide.
You should be using either AptioMemoryFix.efi or OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi+EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.
HFSPlus.efi is also missing.
Clover is not the RehabMan recommended build.

Make sure BIOS settings are correct (CSM enabled, IGPU DVMT-prealloc 128mb).

Might be RAM issue. Your bootlog shows only a single RAM stick installed. macOS seems to be better with dual channel (therefore two RAM sticks required).

Make sure the RAM you purchase is approved by Intel.

Hi, thanks for checking!

My RAM is:
Kingston ValueRAM - DDR4
8 GB - SO DIMM 260-PIN - 2133 MHz / PC4-17000 - CL15 - 1.2 V (which is exactly what intel recommend).

nstability, monitor flickering, monitor blanking reported with Corsair CMSO32GX4M2A2133C15 memory. SPD data is not correct
Kingston 16GB 2400 MHz
HX424S14IBK2/32
Incompatible System may not boot, or may be instable with Kingston HX424S14IBK2/32 memory


Haha... Alright. Thats the issue



Will check other things tonight.

Make sure you check your BIOS settings as well.

Hi all,
just want to report my latest finding regarding the bluetooth.
I recently purchased the Apple AirPods and they work perfectly with this install. I just have to go to the Bluetooth -> my AirPods -> Connect, and it always connects to the AirPods without any problem.
I am more happy with my Hackintosh.

RehabMan, hoping you can help me. I have an NUC7i7BNH that I can't get working. Most of the time, I can't get it to start boot at all. I get numerous lines that just loop over and over, including "disk2s1: 0x3E8 (UNDEFINED)", "Process[x] crashed: [y]d. Too many corpses being created", and multiple versions of "Service only ran for X seconds. Pushing respawn out by Y seconds." Searching for that 3rd one, I only found threads about Nvidia GPUs, which doesn't seem too helpful here.

The handful of times I can get to the installer GUI, most of those times I can't get my hard drive to mount. I thought maybe it was my NVME drive, so I used a regular SATA drive. Same thing. Used a regular HDD, same thing. The NVME drive successfully mounted once and went through the first part of installation, but then was stuck after rebooting (I left it overnight). Unfortunately I don't have the verbose logging from that.

I've also tried a different flash drive, but still no luck.

I couldn't get everything you asked for in the Problem Reporting section since I can't get it installed, but attaching the CLOVER folder and some pictures of the verbose booting.

Clover/kexts/Other is missing SATA-100-series-unsupported.kext.
Read the guide carefully.
