Dell Optiplex 7040 Problem

BillyL said:

I have a Dell Optiplex 7040 and I am trying to install Sierra on it. I have followed a lot of different threads and a lot of different youtube videos on how to install and all seem to freeze. Would like to get some help on getting it installed.

Thanks

Thank you Pastrychef I went to this link : https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/10-11-0-10-11-3-skylake-starter-guide.179221/ and I followed the who setup and I used the config file https://www.tonymacx86.com/attachments/config-plist.163681/

Don't mix n match from different guides. The first one you linked to is a good one. The config.plist that you downloaded is missing a lot of stuff. Don't use it.

I used the one in the guide that it said to use. What config.plist should I use?

1. Use MultiBeast and create your own. See guide that I mentioned earlier in thread.
2. Look for someone else who is using the same motherboard (or very close to it) you are and follow his/her guide.
3. Follow the Skylake guide you linked to earlier.

Thanks I guess I’ll keep looking. I’ve search a lot on here and can’t seem to find a good config. I used Unibeast to creat it and it boots up but freezes on the same location.
