Fujitsu Lifebook A512 issues

[icallanan]

Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me out here. I am trying to install OSX 10.13 on my laptop. I get to the boot screen and then it hangs/crashes. I have tried verbose mode, safe mode, injection etc and I can't get to the install screen. Can some one help? I need step by step instructions (I am saved but not that much). Laptop is

Intel® Core™ i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4

Intel® HD Graphics 3000 (SNB GT2)


Sandy Bridge (Core i5)


Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz

UJITSU - FJNBB29

Chipset Intel Corporation - HM75 Express Chipset LPC Controller


2x 8192 MB @ 1333MHz (SODIMM DDR3)


Graphics Intel (i915 driver) - 2nd Generation Core Processor Family

Thanks in advance

Icallanan,

As your chip is a Sandy Bridge, you should try following this guide (follow the Intel GPU guide) > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-asus-p8z68-vpro-core-i5-i2500-nvidia-gtx-1060.250985/

You will also need a copy of Clover Configurator to do the edits to the config.plist.

This is so frustrating. I have tried 7 different USB drives. Tried them all in each port of ether laptop. Used a USB2 hub to see if that made a difference. Been reading pages upon pages and I still cannot get this to boot past the attached images. I find the configurator very confusing. I have managed to extract my config.plist and attached it here as well. hoping someone can give me sone insight. Any help greatly appreciated.
