Hi Guys,

I have had a hackintosh built and it works just fine when it starts. I wanted to install Sierra, but ii got the message that the installation cant be done on Macboob3,1. So i changed the system definition using multibeast to iMac (i believe 7.1 i think) (yes i know, i have the clover method) so now i cant boot at all. i get a black screen after loading and nothing happens. The other issue i have is that my Hackintosh sometimes starts fine and sometimes not. i get this panic message:

If i restart again, sometimes it boots fines and sometimes, i keep getting this panic message until i tried a few times.
I tried booting in safe mode, nothing changes.

What can i do guys, i really need your help.

Things like "Macboob3,1" and "iMac (i believe 7.1 i think)" are not helpful, please be precise.
 
iMac14,2 is more suitable for your hardware.

Boot in safe mode.
Mount your EFi partition with EFI Mounter V3.
Change your system definition with MultiBeast or Clover Configurator.
Restart.
Select the without caches option.

If i use clover configurator, i can mount the partition in Hackintosh Harddrive/volumes/ESP. Is this the correct location, should i save my config.plist here?

Only if you installed in Legacy mode but why would you do that when you have a UEFI capable board ?
