Are you sure your hard drive is good?

I had a bad drive that did the same. Glad you fixed it.

Make sure your video output did not change. I had the problem with the DVI switching to the Display Port. So it looks like your monitor has gone to sleep but really is sending the signal to another port.

I had that problem but added npci=0x2000 as a boot option and was able to boot. You can try npci=0x3000 sometimes as well.

Well, after much testing and reloading and so on I gave up. I loaded windows on the computer and the display port only allowed a resolution of 1280x800. Connecting to the DVI port I got full resolution. So it was the port restrictions that was causing the problem. However, when loading High...

I just finished installing High Sierra with an ATI Radeon 570 8gb video card connected by display port to a Apple 30 inch Cinema display. High Sierra sees the monitor and knows that it is a 30 inch Apple display. However, the only resolution is 1280x 800. It should be 2560x1600. What is the...

I only use the Sierra install instructions for the build. Nothing special except what I listed above. Tonight I have a second system build with 2x Xeon E5 2690 v3 to install. I will stick with the Sierra software. If I notice any difference I will post it. Not sure if your v4 Xeons and no ECC...

Sorry but I don't come here often since my system is working well. Dwight

I still got the black screen when booting after doing everything listed above. I ran AGDPfix and both my monitors starting working after a reboot.

Thanks for the reply and solution. I guess they are going to have to update the instructions on how to create a High Sierra system.

Well I guess no one has tried to download High Sierra this week. I did some more checking and Apple said that network connectivity is required to upgrade. So to me it looks like they give you only an installer program instead of the full software, which we need to build our systems. Can anyone...

I have El Capitan running on the MacBook Pro. 10.11.6

I have been trying to download High Sierra today from the App store on my MacBook Pro but it only downloads a 19.5 mb installer file. I have downloaded the 4 gb Sierra file before. Has Apple changed their policy or am I doing something wrong? UniBeast gives an error "...is the partial...
