[CaseySJ]

the new GPU is installed and working fine, But I do not think the fans are turning on. and any monitor apps I have tried just show the temp at 0*c. What am I missing?

i9-9900
z390 designaire
rx-6900 xt
maco OS 11.6.1
oc 0.7.4
hackindrom 2.0.5

Thanks

Andy

Fans on the RX 6900XT should turn on once the GPU reaches 50C or higher.

Regarding GPU monitoring, please try HWMonitorSMC2.

At the OpenCore Boot Picker, what do you see in the lower right corner? Do you see REL-075-(date)?

if you mean on the screen where all the drives are presented when you boot...I see nothing in the lower right corner. Do I misunderstand?

Aha, that means your motherboard is booting from the wrong disk. If you installed OpenCore 0.7.5 on a USB flash disk in order to test it, then it’s necessary to press F12 at Gigabyte splash screen to open the BIOS Boot Menu, then select the flash disk from that menu.

Then check again for REL-075-(date) on the bottom right corner.

OK. I wasn't booting from a flash disc but from my primary boot disc. In BIOS I had first boot set to OpenCore. I re-booted and pressed F12 for the boot menu. There I chose the boot disc itself (Samsung 970 EVO 1TB), and it booted and all things seem fine. Hackintool sees .75 and HackinDROM sees the proper kexts.
I thought it should boot from "OpenCore". Apparently not!

Yes, that’s what we want to see.

Hi guys. @CaseySJ

I just noticed that Netflix won't play on Safari on Big Sur 11.6.1. Presents as error S7706.
Also, I suspect a similar issue on Apple TV+ not playing videos. When playing something, a black window appears in a brief millisecs and closes back to thumbnails.
I tried playing Apple TV+ contents in Safari, it also won't play there. Presents as "This browser is not supported". It's Safari FGS.

Hope some of you can investigate what is going wrong with my system? I'm using the new EFI for OC 0.7.4 that @CaseySJ posted.

Thank you so much.

Hello @wansaleh,

One thing to try:

• In boot-args, replace shikigva=xx with unfairgva=1 and reboot.

Hello, long time since I visited this thread.
As per my previous posts, it seems my MB had indeed fried. It took 6 weeks to get it back repaired (although some stuff seems to be in a worse condition than when I sent it, some scratches and a screw for the SSDs missing). But that's something I'll sort afterwards, as I desperately need to get the machine up and running to finish some projects.

I've rebuilt the computer from the components that were in, the machine boots to BIOS (was set to F8, so I upgraded it to F9j), I did the BIOS setup as per the guide.
But the OS won't boot...

It's getting stuck at the "apple" loading screen, and the progress bar doesn't show T_T.

The SSD was booting without worries before the MB died (while I was away and the computer power off), so the UEFI files have not been touched and should be fine.

I'd be eternally grateful to know what I can do to debug this, and have again a working wonderful hackintosh.

thanks in advance.

I'm understanding that you're trying to restart the same system after a motherboard repair but it doesn't work, probably because BIOS settings has been reset to default values and you need to change them back to the values you had.

What macOS version were you running?

I would start by downgrading BIOS to version F9g and checking that BIOS settings are correctly set.

Refer to the first page of this thread to get all the info you'll need.

I managed to get the progress bar to display after toggling the Cfg to 1 and resetting the NVRAM from the open core boot menu.

Now I CAN see a progress bar, but it's not moving at all and stays empty.
I suspect it's hanging early on in the boot process.

re @DeBilbao
Thanks for your reply.
I've set the BIOS settings as per the guide. Why would F9g work better than F9f? I couldn't find it creating issues.

I am running Big Sur.

I also tried booting from my backup. On this drive, I manage to get to the login screen, but then get an error telling me I am unable to log in to the user account at this time....

*edit*
I managed to get through the boot phase using an older EFI that I had for updating my opencore. This got me to the login page on my main SSD, but I'm facing the same error on login...
