Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming build with working NVRAM

BIOS F9l won't POST if I change settings from optimized

I just built a new system using most of the components that pastrychef recommended. After a few fails, I managed to update the BIOS to F9l from the original F8. After I change the BIOS settings to those listed in the first posting for the Gigabyte Z 390 M Gaming mobo:

Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > Initial Display Output > PCIe 1 Slot
Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > Above 4G Decoding > Enabled
Advanced Mode > Settings > IO Ports > USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-off > Enabled
Advanced Mode > Boot > CSM Support > Disabled
Settings > IO Ports > Super IO Configuration > Serial Port > Disabled
Boot > CFG Lock > Disabled (MSR unlock)

the system will not boot up, just hangs at black screen no text even if verbose is on. The only recovery is to turn off computer, short out the Clear CMOS mobo pins, reset bios, and reload optimized settings. If I boot with those optimized settings, I can get to the MacOS loading screen but that gets stuck at about 10%. I used my MBP to copy the EFI folder from one of the most recent Clover uploads provided in original posting to the 970 EVO. And I used Clover Configurator to change some of the settings (iMacPro1,1 system definition, Serial, Board Serial, UUID) before installing it in the new HackPro.

Any ideas?

Try with all those settings except leaving CSM support enabled.

I removed the Disable driver, and the reset returned to work, but the shutdown, instead of shutting down, restarts.

What drivers did you disable?

This one AptioMemoryFix.

This one AptioMemoryFix.

My EFI is using OpenRuntime instead of AptioMemoryFix on the latest versions of Clover.

If OenRuntime is not working for you, it's most probably because you don't have the Quirks configured correctly in config.plist.

Thanks for your help. That made it POST and boot into Clover and my OSX install--for the first time--but then it crashed with the attached screenshot.

Looks like it's USB related. Please try with your USB flash drive and Logitech device in different USB ports. The ports in the rear should be good.

How I Quirks configure correctly in config.plist?

Just copy the Quirks from my config.plist in my Clover r5126 EFI on post #1. Those settings work with Z390.

I already use your Clover EFI 5126, I need to include this OcQuirks.efi in Clover?

No.
