[Guide] Install High Sierra or Mojave on the Dell Optiplex 7010 / 9010 Desktop PC - Revision II

[trs96]

So I finally received my half mini Bluetooth WiFi card in the mail. I'm having and issue where the wifi portion works but it does not detect the Bluetooth. Do I need a driver or do I have to enable anything?

Laptop forums is where you should search. Put in the specific card you have and search for what Broadcom related kexts are needed for your card. Laptop hackers mostly all use Broadcom Wifi/BT cards because who wants ethernet for a laptop ?

@trs96 ah ok it was one of the recommended ones from the guide so I thought it had native support on Bluetooth. Will check it out.

I've never owned one of those Azurewave half mini cards but I know that they do work with Rehabman's kexts he specifically developed for them. They rarely work OOB, especially with Mojave.

Just went and installed a few kext and it seems to be working fine. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I had the exact same issue. My hackintosh was working fine for a while. Moved my setup a few feet to a different desk. Started experiencing the same issues you were having. I tried new ram, cables, monitors, flash drivers + installers (different versions), new/old kext, etc. Everything would be fine after the initial install then after an hour OR a reboot I would experience your exact same issue. I purchased a GT 710 since it appeared to be graphics related (even though HD4000 was recognized it acted as if it was not) and everything has been working perfectly the past day or so.

Thanks for the tip. I have the USFF so I can't fit a GT 710 in it and this whole project is just becoming more trouble than it's worth. I do appreciate the help though.

Hello, Sorry I'm still confused with the concept of Headless iGPU. and super noob at hackintoshing.
Im using Dell Optiplex 7010 with i7 3770 and dGPU MSI RX 570 4GB Armor on Mojave 10.14.4

1. When using SSDT provided on the thread and/or created one on Mojave, my system stuck at Apple Logo loading screen.
2. When dGPU is unplugged but using SSDT, It works and runs okay, CPU could run at 3.7Ghz when full load.Intel Power gadget shows GFX thingy and shows 0.35 at full load
3. When not using SSDT but use dGPU, It works and runs okay, but CPU is maxed at 3.4 Ghz when full load. Intel Power Gadget on frequency graph shows NO GFX thingy.

I used my system mostly on video editing, when running on rendering process, the dGPU seems not used at all, the CPU is always full load. I dont know this is normal or not? And How to know that hardware accelerated video rendering is enabled?

Back at Headless iGPU. How to enable this?

Thank you.

Maybe you got a bad one. I bought mine from a good will 9010 mt and one from eBay usff and they both work fine.

IDK what could be bad about it while not causing any other problems on Mac or any unusual problems at all with Windows. I bought another computer from the same (reputable) eBay seller and it's got no issues. And like you said, you had the same problem and no longer using HD400 graphics is the only thing that fixed it. Seems like it's a problem with something on the software side to me but I'm not an expert.

Would be best if you upload your PR files to determine if something there is causing this.

Post to the following thread for help. jaymonkey knows this process as well as anyone and can help you to get it working. You should already have the latest Lilu and WEG installed so you'll just need to learn how to use the Hackintool app. This Optiplex beginner's guide has already gotten much too long as it is so I'm not including the setup of headless iGPU here. Many people use just the HD4000 igfx and having headless iGPU setup as part of the guide would only cause confusion and mistakes that would result in much more support work here.
