Similar behaviour here. Since the beginning I had lot of issues with Clover rebooting just when loading, does not care if it has multiple boots or just one. It did not happened once when I tried to setup OpenCore (tried first, when I could not I changed to Clover). I even packaged CPU and motherboard for return and I saw AiBeast have had same problem but fixed. Sometimes it works most of the time it does not. Never happened with just one drive and Windows.
When the failure is in french (motherboard bought in France) is when I know I can boot safely. Just go to override boot, select the drive and bang. It works. When Clover does not reboot obviously it works. No changes in the Bios whatsoever. This Bios is amazingly bad or there is a huge compatibility Bug with this motherboard and Clover.
I have just configured a new OpenCore EFI, I need to test it but I wish @dolgarrenan shared his open core EFI to know where to look when my OC setup fails

I am from Spain lol
but I get to boot correctly when this message is in french. My opinion is that is a safe bios or so and that our Bios has some bug or incompatibility with Clover (or clover bug) and it reboots. When this safe Bios loads is when it boots correctly to Catalina. The big problem is that sometimes it fixes randomly and does not reboot. It's ****ing weird and annoying. I don't even know how or who should I report because it's just puffs (hard reset). Maybe a video would help? The god thing is that dolgarrenan and AiBeast (as well as all people behind) gave us a good and stable EFI and I keep my system up and running full day lol. Don't want to test the new Kexts lol.About the black screen, I have a Asus rampage V extreme that with CSM enabled i could not load the screen, not even the Bios, that gave me problems to install windows 7 (so opted for the 10 route).

Hello guys, I bought my board in Spain too and the problem persists with OC/CLOVER you name it, the BIOS is just rubbish tbh.
I tried contacting Gigabyte about the issue and told them I was dual booting my system with Ubuntu and the issue was easily replicated on each boot if I had more than one bootloader on separate disks, and they told me they don't support any other OS besides Windows....
I had the same reply from Asus some time back, so it's not just us.. Perhaps if enough people would complain about it, they might actually fix their s**t.
I have purchased an ASRock X299 Creator since and I have been working with it no probs, BIOS can easily be modified with UEFITool and flashed back without many "firewalls" and everything seems to be working fine so far. I haven't been able to reproduce the same procedure for flashing the Thunderbolt firmware since the chip on the customized NVMe M.2 port Thunderbolt card uses a Macronix spi chip and it's a pain to read/flash (I'm waiting for new debugging hardware).
What that means? Nothing, I still have my GB Designare board which I honestly love, I think is the best board out there hands down atm, but the GB team behind developing their BIOS is just incompetent. I will continue to support this thread and hopefully in the future if they fix the BIOS problems come back to it a daily driver, so far has been sitting in my studio where I only do music and nothing else, so the purpose the board work a charm, besides, having flashed the Thunderbolt module has opened up possibilities we could never dream before, so I'm very happy with it.
I'm sorry I have taken so long to update and share new EFI but life and work keep me away from the community.
Here is my OC 0.5.7 EFi with working Thunderbolt SSDT HP for those who just won't bother to disassemble their boards and go through the process of flashing/messing etc.. Hope you guys find it useful.
Updated first post with new info.
NOTE: Change IDs (its blank right now) and give a good PopperTree clean snapshot just in case, remove unneeded kext and update to 0.5.8 if needed, beware the new .efi firmware on 0.5.8 replacing FwRuntimeServices.efi.

Hello there everybody
Thanks again dolgarrenan ;P Where did you complain or contact with Gigabyte? Did you use Technical Service or some email? I am going to send them an email complaining too. So we bought 750$ more in my case and the just support gaming machines or what? Bad gigabyte really bad.
I cannot buy another machine, just won't. I prefer to wait/deal with this issue. Maybe some Clover/OC developer will hit with the same problem and try to fix/solve the issue.
Are you sure it's 100% because having dual boot? Because I had lot's of reboots just with one drive in Clover but never in OC (now I am not sure, I did get crazy with this reboots like that Blaster worm some ppl would see ghost in their own mirror lol. I tried for 3, 4 days with OpenCore but could not even install (maybe RTC issue, or whatever), then I found this post and used the easy route and tried Clover as I did since 2013 and the issues started.
Thanks for the OC EFI, tomorrow is hardware day, going to fix my old computer, maybe get rid of the windows drive, insert new memory sticks so will test several things. I don't have any thunderbolt devices so I don't care for now.
Have a nice weekend everybody.
Also one more thing: ¿Anyone having the system frozen when using Transmissionbt on Catalina? Is related to the big files issue or ....
Bye

I have a lot of questions, but I haven't seen you for a long time. I upgraded Thunderbolt firmware to X299X Designare 10G according to the guide. I followed the CaseySJ link and used the firmware for Z390 Designare and the corresponding SSDT.However, Thunderboltport via Displayport for monitors will not work after the upgrade. I was using this by connecting it to the graphics card display port # 1-> M / B display port # 1-> Thunderboltport # 1-> monitor Thunderboltport. Is there a way to solve it? page 29

I know, I have been real busy with work and this whole covid ordeal, my country has severely implemented rules for social distancing and I eventually have more real life work than usual, so less time to post here.
Tbh I have not experienced this with TB displays, I do not own one. I can tell you that I have tried several other devices included an Apollo x8, Apollo twin, TB1 HDD with TB3 adapter, a Razer Core X eGPU I own and Thunderbolt external drive to a MacBook Pro 16,1 over TB3 with no issues.
I have to say that I first had to connect the eGPU on cold boot to be recognized correctly, then I could just HotPlug no probs.
Have you set the SSDT correctly with DROM parameters and so? What can you see on port7 for TB on device tree (use ioreg)? Can you show a screen capture of your Thunderbolt section in system profiler?

I've already flashed the MB for TB but have a nitro+ 5700 XT and a i9 7940x. Which files or changes do I need to make to the ssdt/dsdt to make this work? I have afully stable z390 master but would love to make some use of this 7940x. Thanks in advanced

Hopefully we can get some passion back into this beautiful Mac pro setup. So come on guys and lets get this running like the z390 master!
