    High Sierra problem after Multibeast

    It is. Thanks. Maybe you got the OP up and running. To be honest, he wasn't very meticulous about pleases and thank yous over the course of his 20 posts. So his install has either failed, and he omitted to acknowledge those of us who assisted with suggestions, or it succeeded, and he bailed...

    High Sierra problem after Multibeast

    I suggest trying the HDMI cable in the other port on your computer's back panel. It may not work, but eliminating possibilities is part of troubleshooting, and it makes more sense to see if that works before wiping everything and starting again.

    Frustrated...

    Sorry, your setup is quite far beyond what I'm familiar with, especially the two 4K displays. Oddly enough I found that my own issue with bootup landing me at a black screen was resolved simply by moving the HDMI cable to the other HDMI port in the motherboard back panel. I haven't worked out...

    Hard for anyone to address your closing questions without your being more specific about what it is you can't do. You say you completed the install. Even that much information is not entirely clear. Did you go through the MacOS setup screens for region, language, internet etc?

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    Okay, try this if you can. If you're connecting by HDMI, move the cable to the other port in the back panel of your motherboard and boot up. It might not make a difference, but it might (don't ask me how I know that). If that doesn't work, back to other possibilities. Make sure that when you...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    If you install the OS and get to the Apple setup screens, I think you'll need to select the "no internet" option to proceed to the end of the setup. You can sort out internet later. Note that in the buyer's guide https://www.tonymacx86.com/posts/1771939/edit it is stated that the built in...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    No, Transcend 240GB. Carefully selected on the grounds that it was cheaper. And my belief, correct or otherwise, that it doesn't make much difference which SSD is installed. Your SATA cable looks correctly connected, but you see that massive empty space next to it with the pins? Your power...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    Offhand, I can't really remember what I set in BIOS that wasn't already specified in the Installation section on this site. The three settings you've been asking about are neither visible in the BIOS nor mentioned in the motherboard manual, so you can safely disregard them. Make sure your other...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    Mine seems to be fixed. I think it was a Multibeast setting in particular, and then some tweaking of the BIOS. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I set in Multibeast that made the difference, but it may have been setting Intel HD6xx to on in the Customize menu. And I think Intel...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    I didn't find them either. And as they're not mentioned in the Gigabyte manual, I assumed they're not available for this motherboard. Have you been able to boot into High Sierra at all? (Setting up your account etc.) That's the furthest I've gone, with I think a successful bootup with the USB...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    I've tried in safe mode, that's not working either. After watching a couple of reboots, the progress bar stops just after the indicator has gone a little more than halfway. I grabbed a couple of verbose booting shots, the second of these two shows the final thing that happens before the screen...

    Installed, but booting to a black screen

    I'm having trouble getting a High Sierra installation to work properly. Everything is new from the case to the internal hardware, and the High Sierra installer was downloaded yesterday. The installation appears to proceed correctly. As it's my second Hackintosh and I want it to be separate from...
