Thank you so much @trs96 for all your help, I removed the sata power & cable from the cd rom and there were no reboots. Also, Wifi is working after installing adapter drivers.

1) I recently upgraded my cpu to i7 and installed hackintosh on it, Now there is a random noise on the my cd drive and my pc reboots after 20-30 seconds. 2) Wifi adapter - TP link TL WN725N (Wifi symbol isn't there and from network there is not option of wifi, Currently using the lan port)...

I mean it's a mechanical sound from the desktop, Yes its the original power supply. Sure, I'll start a new thread. Update: I had to remove sata cables from cd rom and reboot issues were gone.

Thanks a lot, That works. I'll keep an eye if it reboots again. Some more concerns: 1) I have a wifi adapter but wifi isn't showing up. Installed wifi adapter driver and it worked. 2) I installed a i7 3770 today replacing the i5, Do you think the i7 is more power hungry and is causing reboot...

Hi @trs96 , @nocakemac and @Sniki , Good news, I now have a working Hackintosh with NVME support because of you all! I followed @Sniki guide at https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-hp-elite-8300-6300-pro-all-form-factors-using-clover-uefi-hotpatch.279627/ I was at terminal following the...

@trs96 the speed almost doubled!

On it, Will update asap!

@trs96 and @nocakemac , I just received the processor i7 3770 and am preparing the prerequisites. Will keep this thread updated, I do appreciate all the people involved in the process of creating and maintaining Hackintosh (You are awesome!).

Thank you for pointing my attention towards the adapter, It was full size. My desktop is a small form factor and needed a low profile so I ordered a different one and cancelled the previous one. While I am still awaiting my i7 3770, I did speed test results of Samsung Evo 870 Plus 500gb using...

I believe, I'll have all the required components by 30th March. I've ordered and will update the post soon, Thanks @trs96 .

@trs96 https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/best-value-m-2-nvme-ssd-boot-drive-samsung-970-evo-250-gb.253205/ I am willing to try and see if Samsung evo 970 works with PCIE adapter for booting hackintosh, Kindly point me to the right direction @trs96 as I have never built a hackintosh before.

Thank you for the guide, I wouldn't mind trying Evo 970 but I want to know if it works with PCIE adapter as boot option for Hackintosh.

Update: I bought i7 3770 as per the advice @nocakemac , I would really like another opinion on the 970 evo plus.

I agree with you on getting an i7 3770. While I still dwell on thinking about the ssd as the speeds are 5x faster with 870 evo plus and very close prices between the two. :crazy:

I have the following. I had the following. Model: HP Compaq 8300 Elite SFF CPU: i5 3470 SFF RAM: 8GB HDD: 500 GB Mechanical disk HDD Graphic card: HD 2500 I've read a lot of post on tonymacx86.com for HP 8300 SFF and @trs96 seems to have a lot of guidance on it...
