Yeah that has been my fallback position and I am just about at that point. Then again, I might as well wait for High Sierra to be released to go that route. Of of the main reason I wanted to do an upgrade was I thought it would be a way of avoiding the issue I had with my GTX960 being an...

Thank you form your response. I don't know what you mean by direct upgrade, but what I am doing to simply downloading macOS Sierra from the App Store and running the installation. When it reboots and actually tries to start the installation is where I run into the issue. As far as the SMBIOS...

Well once again I thank you for your time. I will continue to try things and if I make any progress I will report back here.

No problem. So before you're response I tried removing my video card and doing the installation , but surprisingly it failed at the same spot. I then tried it again with the card back in wit the boot flags(not the safe mode one) and it failed at the same spot again. Lastly I tried with the...

First I would like to thank you for the time you have spent helping me. I appreciate you're help. Here is a picture of my Clover boot args: Since you mentioned the video card being a potential issue related to the error message you noticed, I will mention this: I have a Nvidia GTX960 which...

I now have macOS Sierra installer 12.6.03. I ran it and it seems to have stopped in the about the same place as far as i can tell. I actually walked away from my PC and and therefore let the installer run longer, at a point where it looks like it had been stopped for a long time, and there are...

Thanks for responding. I will try to answer you questions the best I can, for what I understand of them. I think I have macOS Sierra version 12.0.49 I originally downloaded it a while ago, but I had trouble doing the install at that time and I gave up. As far as Clover, I did read that I...

Hello all. I have a fully working El Capitan installation with Clover as my boot loader. From the Sierra install guides I have read, they say I should just be able to upgrade to Sierra, but it is not working for me. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. My pertinent...

Wow. I could have sworn I tried that, but maybe not both combined. Simple fix, but thank you so much!

Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge EVGA GeForce GTX 960 04G-P4-3969-KR 4GB FTW GAMING I previously had OSX 10.10 Yosemite running with a Chimera bootloader. Originally it was using a Nvidia GTX 560, and with some work, and help from members of this community, I was...

So I think I am in a state that is booting on a reliable basis. Jithin, I think you are right, it looks like it might have been related to the MacPro3,1 system definition because since I have changed it to iMac14,2 I haven't had any problems booting. The strange thing was when I first came home...

Is EIST something to do with Error Stepping? I will try that when I get home from work. As far as the system definition... I hear what you are saying, but at the same time, I was able to boot with that to install the Nvidia Web Drivers, and also after the web drivers where installed. Could...

I forgot to attached the photo. Its attached now.

So it looks like I got a little too excited too fast. I can no longer boot and I have no idea why. Before I started playing around with changing the system definitions, or anything else for that matter, I wanted to clone the drive in the working state I had it in. So I ran Super Duper and...

BOOM! It looks like the combination of IGPEnabler=No and nvda_drv=1 has done it. I first booted with the GTX560, now I removed that card and installed the GTX960 and it booted too! Thank you everyone, especially Pilgrim and Jithin for your help. But I don't think I am fully there yet...

Ok, thank you. I will try that. One more question, for now at least: If I can't boot normally after I try this, is some boot flags I can use to at least get me to the desktop so I can try to make other changes without having to reclone drive over and over?

I renamed it and reran Multibeast just in case, but it seem to have the same behavior. Like you said, I think it has been working all along. SO I am ready to try to install the Nvidia Web Drivers again. Based on the settings in my previous Multibeast screenshot, is there anything I should...

This is the same DSDT file I used to get the Yosemite installed and working in the first place, and it's always been name DSDT-GA-Z68A-D3H-B3-F13.aml. As a matter of fact I just used it to restore the boot loader after I recloned the drive. My problem comes up after I install the Nvidia Web...

I just restored my SSD with the good working version of 10.10.4 with the GTX560 in the computer. I am going to try this again. Attached is a screenshot of my Multibeast settings. What settings would you recommend after I installed the Nvidia Web Drivers?
