Yes, It's nice to be relieved knowing I don't have to look into another tricky issue in addition to struggling to update to Sonoma as well :p

This is indeed what I ended up doing eventually once I'd calmed down. A cold boot after shutting down from Windows and it's been running just fine since then (I'm booted into MacOS now, have been for over an hour with no crashes). Wow, I'd forgotten about that card, I thought I'd taken it out...

Okayyy. So firstly, thankyou very much, extremely appreciated as always. Secondly, my computer has for some mysterious reason decided that it wants to crash CONSTANTLY today, whether it being on boot into MacOS or shortly after getting to the desktop, so getting in there making those changes to...

Awesome, thankyou for that very much. So after putting the serial back, I copied that modified file to the USB's EFI folder, booted the USB (via F8), reset the NVRAM, rebooted the USB via F8, chose the Install Sonoma option to verbose boot, and got another faliure; attached. "The file may be...

It should be the newest version as I went through the process of updating the local version of Opencore to the latest one via OCAT, and then copied that same EFI to the USB's EFI. So they should be identical in that respect- to the best of my knowledge anyway. :problem: I've attached compressed...

Ahhh so there was something really simple I wasn't doing :lol: This hasn't solved the boot problem but it does now mean I have a different set of errors; attached. Also I don't know if it's worth mentioning but in addition to the MacOS disk's EFI, I can also see the USB stick's EFI as well as...

Hi Casey! Thanks once again for your invaluable help. So that's the Min/Max for the Sonoma kext, yes? What should the min/max be for the Ventura one? Just so that I'm certain. I have been careful to only edit the config.plist that I want to, and I can see by selectively loading one after the...

I thought it wouldn't be nessecary to do that sort of thing at this stage but I've given it a go anyway. To my surprise the verbose boot script didn't even change. It still mentions the exact same errors, including the Ventura WiFi kext. I had used the Opencore Configurator to remove it from the...

Hi again, So further to my Ventura build of some months ago (in this thread) which has been running happily (apart from the fairly often boot faliures which usually clear after a reboot or two, oh and Windows occasionally deciding not to appear in the bootloader disk list), I've been trying to...

Thanks so much for responding CaseySJ. Good news: Glad to hear those messages weren't regarding anything important. I updated the Opencore bootloader and the 'warnings' ceased to appear. So that's that. Thank you so much for taking the time to do that. Confession: I got curious as to how you...

Thanks for that. Must be a case of not finding the most obvious result because I was looking too hard, or something! Unfortunately I'm not having much luck with it, rather alarmingly my attempt(s) to edit the config.plist file have all resulted in boot faliure. I've followed that guide very...

Hello again everyone, I thought I'd check in. So I've assembled all the parts I previously mentioned (new i9 CPU, new cooler, "new" Z690 MoBo, new 32GB RAM, new M.2 SSD's, new PSU, old 5700XT, old case) and I've installed both Win11 and Monterey successfully. Then I updated Monterey to Ventura...

Hi, my thanks to both of you. After slightly panicking and a tense few minutes of internal debate, I decided to take the risk and buy the Z690 from that Danish eBay seller. Lets hope it turns up in good condition (they claimed it wasn't opened/used, I really hope that's true). Then I'll have all...

Thanks for the link and the fast response, I really appreciate it. But it's worth stating that I live in the UK; it doesn't appear I can purchase it from there in that case. I just phoned another UK shop that had it listed on their website, and predictably they also don't actually have any. It's...

Soo, predictably the worry about the ASUS ProArt Z690-Creator WiFi Motherboard I bought not being available has come true (I'm so beyond annoyed at websites listing things for sale that they don't have); is it worth me giving in and going for the Z790, or should I try to find the Z690 somewhere...
