Eglobal S200 Nuc Intel i7 8750H / Mini PC Compatible?

Thanks for the quick reply, it boots up but my screen just turns blank when i was randomly trying to press keys to pull up the BIOS, apparently i had the mDP connected and when trying to access the BIOS mDP is blank so i switched to HDMI to view the BIOS. Thanks again and just wanted to ask if i enabled "fast boot" will it make any difference considering i already have an SSD NVME installed? I am worried if i enable it i won't be able to press Del key fast enough to access the BIOS again. Cheers!

No worries. Maybe others can chime in on benefits of Fast Boot but I currently have it disabled. Try both and see if it makes a big difference.

Hi guys, just got the Xeon E-2176M version and realized i need to enable CSM to enable usb booting. Now i've installed the OS i can't seem to go back to the Bios, can anyone tell me how to get back to the BIOS? Thanks

Hold down Esc on restart

I see - thanks for sharing @il.nferno. Wow didn't realize it would take 5 mins! Anyhow - I got around my problem by enabling CSM in the BIOS. It was the only way I could get the keyboard to work instantaneously.

Now, I'm trying to fix Random App Freezes/Crashes e.g. Chrome after Sleep/Wake.

Enabling CSM also worked for me. Mouse and keyboard working instantly in the bootloader.

@shumbolaHow is your hard drive configured?

I've attached the screenshot. Mine (1TB NVMe) is dual boot, Macos and Ubuntu. I've installed Ubuntu the days when I was unable turn on UHD graphics acceleration, but actually booted into it one or two times. Last time, to see if my 4K 32" Dell works as expected in Ubuntu.

I get stuck during the installation, I noticed that only the rear USB ports work to boot into the Mojave installer.
but I get stuck at the 2min mark, the machine just reboots. last when I was trying to format my drive it just rebooted aswell.

I can't get the installation to complete

Don't use a usb 3.0 stick to install macos, make usb 2.0 install stick and have no problem.

Hi @willumpie82 , I'm at the same point. 2 minutes on the install bar, then black screen, reboots 'American Megatrends' into the Clover bootloader. I'm using a single 1TB Samsung Evo Plus 970 SSD with a 200GB Mac OS Journaled partion for Mojave. Display output is miniDP to HDMI to 4K TV. I've also formated the drive to APFS and that doesn't appear to be the issue breaking the install.

Open to suggestions.

@H0merSimps0n Are you saying the type of USB stick that the installer is causing the crash? Or, are you referring to the USB 2/3 ports on the device?

Thanks for the setup. I'm pretty much running the same. I think that rules out the install crash I'm having is in any way to do with drive partitioning and install destination.

As has been mentioned, did you use an older USB stick to run the installer?

What USB port did you use on the device to install?

Sorry for the lame questions, just hoping to rule out some of the possibilities.

Nearly there it seems...

since I don't have an USB2 large enough stick, I tried installing using an SDcard and an old USB2.0 reader, same issue, next up try with simple USB-C to USB2 convertor

What Unibeast settings should we use, just UEFI or Legacy mode?

[edit]
just tried with the above, no success.
the Gui installer finishes with these lines

for this one I used the fromt USB-c port with a usb 2.0 convertor
