    I know from using HDD in the past that they don't handle poweroutages/crashes pretty well & that they can end up corrupted. I've had that issue years ago with my windows-pc's from time to time, But this is the first time on mac that I came accross this issue. I do notice that from time to time...

    MSI GS63VR 7RF Stealth Pro

    My Hackintosh has been running great for the past year (almost) BUT lately I'm running into some HD issue's. Better said partition map issues. When checking the drive with disk-util it will give me the “problems were found with the partition map which might prevent booting” error. My NVME SSD is...

    Hi sandrowalet, I had the same problem for a while and this generaly means the gfx drivers are not working properly. If you check my updated first post, you will find that i use 2 different plist files. One with a real graphics id & one with a fake one & its that fake one that fixes the...

    Hi VicViper, I've added a dump of the files that I used/changed/patched/installed to get this laptop up and running. I don't however know if this will work for everyone, as my setup has a 4k display & an NVME drive, which needed some special patching, and I don't remember exactly what I...

    I've updated my first post recently to include the current status. Ethernet is working and i've used the atherose2200ethernext kext for that. I'm not sure if all the advanced features work, but basic internet/networking is working as expected, and didn't have any issue's with this kext what so...

    I know, I really didn't pay attention for optimus when my employer bought me this laptop so it sucks. But hey, I won't be doing any gaming on mac anyways, I'll use windows for that; thus the double boot. I didn't manage to quickly fix my graphics issue's with sierra, so opted to just put back...

    I will report on this one later. Just a quick question => If my laptop is using optimus, which it apparently does :s, there's no way of using the nvidia gfx, right? Because if so, I would just avoid all trouble for now & revert back to el-capitan. The only reason for me to go to sierra, was...

    Those are all in place. It is strange that in my previous setup, I had no issue's with the DVM-T pre-alloc. But now, if I check the system report, it does report only 31mb of ram for the iGPU, so I'm probably screwed on that one, as I have no options in my bios to alter this value(ad have no...

    Did some more research/googling but it didn't result in any fix for the igpu. I did remove the file disabling the nvidia card but it still won't use it or at least i can't select to use the nvidia-webdriver? it automatically reverts back to osx default graphics driver .... ? Does somebody have...

    After a long day of tweaking I was able to install sierra finally. I was running a dual boot, without reinstalling win 10 but that wouldn't allow me to update my current mac osx setup because windows had a MSR & de macintosh hd wasn't te first partition etc etc. .. so i ended up backing it all...

    Does anyone know if there's a guide upgrade guide for laptops going from el capitan to sierra? Or could i just follow the desktop guides on this? Or is it simpler to just reinstall all together?

    As I'm currently not on sierra but on el-capitan, I'm not able to install this driver yet. I am looking into upgrading to sierra, but won't be doing it any time soon, as I don't want to risk to lose my computer for more then a day, because of my professional activities. Perhaps there are some...

    MSI GS63VR 7RF Stealth Pro

    I'm currently using this machine as a laptop for my professional work as a web developer 8 hours a day. And I haven't experienced many issue's to date. You can sometimes get the odd crash mainly when shutting down & disconnecting other external screens/devices at the same time, but I have never...
