Can't boot to installer - Previous shutdown cause 5 (verbose screen shot attached)

Hi All,

This is my 7th hackintosh for some render farm computers. All other 6th are identical to this machine and are all up and running - only difference in this machine is the GFX770 graphics card and 64gb ram. Other machines have basic graphics cards and 16gb ram.

I'm having trouble to boot past the apple logo from the ML usb and can't get to the installation screen, the monitor goes off after the apple loading wheel screen.

I've tried every boot flag combination under the sun.

GraphicsEnabler=No
cpus=1
npci=0x2000
npci=0x3000
-f
-v
-x
etc etc

In verbose mode it gets to the 'AppleIntelE1000e: Ethernet Address: blah blah blah" line in the image and then screen goes off to sleep mode.

I have left all the 64gb ram in and gfx 770 card in. I only have keyboard, mouse, usb stick and SSD plugged in.

Here's the full spec:
INTEL CORE I7 3970X EXTREME 3.5GHz
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB
CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H80i
GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4
NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX770 2GB ASUS
CORSAIR VENGEANCE 64GB 1600MHz

Can anyone offer some kind advice?

Can anyone offer any advice on how to problem solve this?
 
I've tried a basic graphics card in there and now I can boot fine. Does anyone know which boot flags I would need for an NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX770 2GB ASUS?

As that seems to be whats preventing it booting. Thanks

Your problem is SkyLake hardware requires El Capitan or Sierra to run - no support for Mt. Lion.
You also need nv_disable=1 until you get the OS installed and nVidia drivers installed. Then you can enable the card in the config.plist.
 
Hi guys ! I've the same problem in sierra installation, I can't boot on the setup. It's my first hackintosh and I have followed all the instruction on this website. Because I have no macs I had to create my bootable usb key from a Sierra virtual machine. Is it really the same as a real mac ? Do you think that my problem can com from this ?
I also red that the wifi card in the GH97N-wifi is not supported by OSX. Can this be another reason for my problem ?
I have the HD 4460 for gfx.

I think this isn't the good section for my problem but I'm really desperate, I tried lots of methods and nothing worked & I found nothing about my problems on forums...

Thank you for all
