I keep getting this: Error: no IOReg/HDEF; BIOS/audio/disabled or ACPI problem Any idea what to do? This is the last thing I need to fix on my machine and then it will be 100% operational.

So now it starts to load after apple logo and then "panics" and reboots. Definitely getting discouraged. Do you guys think that there is something wrong with GPU? I researched it and it's supposed to be compatible, but regardless of the hackintosh compatibility, why can't I get to the bio with...

Alright guys. So I put the machine together last night, as far as I can tell, everything is working except the GPU which is to be expected. However, if the GPU is connected to the power supply I can't even get to the bios, but if I disconnect it from the PSU I can get to the bios and to clover...

I can't figure out where to put the "nv_disable=1" line. Machine is successfully built, and it boots if I don't connect the GPU to the powersupply. So I'm wondering if I can just go ahead with the install with it unplugged, and then once OS X is up I can install the GPU drivers, THEN plug in the...

Thanks very much! I've been researching for weeks, but every time I move a step or two forward I discover another 2-3 questions that I don't have the answer to.

Oh thanks! Where and when do I do that? Very new to this. So after that I'll need to download the driver and install?

Thank you all. I'm making the bootable USB now. When it asks for optional graphics configuration what should do with my particular GPU? I don't have to select either option correct? See attached screenshot.

How do I know what mine is? I'm assuming it falls in the UEFI category. Thanks again for clarification. Very excited to do this build but also very nervous i'll F it up.

Hey everyone-- So most of my hardware has arrived and I'm building the bootable flash drive. How do I know if I should do UEFI mode or Legacy mode when making the USB? I can't seem to find any clear direction. I'm currently downloading the most recent version of OSX El Capitan. Thanks in...

Thanks. I reposted an updated build and it's asking for just about 680w so I grabbed a 850w PSU to keep future expansion in mind.

The only things that I didn't pull from the guides was the tower and the PSU but I don't see why that would be an issue, right? My research says 650w should be enough and I read up on the PSU and it seems to have great reviews. And the tower I just love the design of. Thanks again!

Thank you so much nobodynose. This is something I never would have thought about. Besides that everything is compatible? If that is true that certainly relieves a great deal of my hesitance/anxiety to make the purchase(s).

Hi everyone-- I'm new to the forum and although I've built many PCs in the past this will be my first CustoMac. I've assembled a parts list and have made several adjustments based on the guides and forum threads, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought and if you see any red flags as far...

I found this card that I think should work fine based on what I've read. again any feedback would be greatly valued. I'm still curious about whether or not 600w is enough power... EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Thanks so much. I guess I really should just make my life less complicated and spend a few extra bucks. Any recommendations for a video card that would run smoothly with my build and output well to my 55"?
