I’ve done that and it doesn’t work. It freezes before PCI configuration begins, but not at the same point reliably. Somewhere around SMC lines, usually, but it’s not consistent. update: I got the Vega64 to display boot sequence and Clover things, but it shows only a blue rectangle on boot...

Anyone? I’ve tried a bunch of stuff and my machine just refuses to boot on its own, plus I can’t use a video card right now. My hackintosh has been unusable for weeks now.

My issue is complex. I had a stable build on Sierra, then I updated to High Sierra last year and things went downhill. I started getting the random freezing issue, so after dealing with that for a year I figured I’d switch from an Nvidia card to a Radeon and update to Mojave. Several issues...

Bump. This boots to a black screen and I have no idea what I can even do at this point

Bumping this. Any help solving this one would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t see the same disable options that google suggested for my MOBO, so I changed an option to use internal GPU if no card was detected. I checked Clover on the boot up and it changed to only show one graphics card, the Vega, and I thought that sounded good, but on boot up the same problem...

This is a fun one. I’ve poked at it for 9 hours today and I’m at my wit’s end. Previously I was on 10.13.6 with an Nvidia Windforce 1060. Ever since I moved to 10.13 from 10.12, I was getting random freezing, which I heard was NOT an issue with 10.14. But since I was using an Nvidia card, I...

So I'm completely scrapping the idea of trying to get this mobo's USB ports working, instead picking up a "natively recognized" USB 3.0 PCI-E card (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JFR2H64/?tag=tonymacx86com-20) If that doesn't work, I'm guessing I can get a new motherboard and just...

The latest High Sierra Multibeast version has a "3rd Party USB Support" option and a "USBInjectAll" option. I checked both of those boxes and built, but that didn't change anything. System Report is still showing two USB 2.0 buses and that's it. Just in case that's just a System Report problem...

I have a pretty strong hunch and I'm wondering if anyone can confirm or reject it. If it's true, I don't think it's fixable, but I really hope that's not true. AFAIK, your SMBIOS is pretty much tied to your processor, right? On a hunch, I followed my processor specs on EveryMac.com and found...

The problem: My system seems to only think it has USB 2.0 ports. I definitely have USB 3.0 ports. I guess I've just never realized this was a problem because I never needed USB 3.0 for any devices, but now I do and that device won't work at all, saying explicitly in-software that it only works...

How did you change from iMac14,2 to MacPro5,1? I have that pulled up in Clover Configurator (mount EFI, open config, and go to SMBIOS) but if I manually change the Product Name field to MacPro5,1 I get an infinite reboot cycle. What am I doing wrong? My best guess has to do with the Bios Version...

This is still happening. There's nothing useful whatsoever in the system log and I've been checking almost every time it freezes. The freezing is an instant, full system lock. No beach ball, no kernel panic, no "my mouse still works but nothing happens;" the whole system just totally stops...

Can you explain what that means and how to do what you did so that "everything works normally?" This all looks like jargon to me.

It just happened again and I've got NOTHING in the system.log for the last 5-6 minutes before freezing. The only common thread I get is that crashes seem to have a line that looks like this before they happen: Oct 8 19:16:53 Jakes-Mac-Pro com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] I either get a "Service...
