    [Success] i5-8400 + MSI B360m Mortar

    I have not had any problems with shutdown or restarting. Infact, I have had it do un-attended 'updates' from apple since mojave preview 2. I suspect that this could be a bios version thing or maybe a graphics card situation (it's somehow blocking the restart ??). I have noticed with macs that...

    [Success] i5-8400 + MSI B360m Mortar

    Basically, you make your usb key following the tutorial, and then you can use something like Clover Configurator to generate a new serial and definition and then save it to the usb key. It's not the "approved" way, because people around here don't seem to like CC for some reason. *polite shrug*...

    [Success] i5-8400 + MSI B360m Mortar

    Find attached the SSDT for getting the Gen 2 ports working on the mortar titanium b360m. You will still need the USBInjectAll obviously, and you should probably fling in the 300 injector for good measure. Fling the compiled aml into the CLOVER/ACPI/patched and, once that's done, you will have...

    [Success] i5-8400 + MSI B360m Mortar

    Hello Everyone, I recently decided to upgrade my machine, from an aging i7 3770 to a new 8th Gen. I couldn't bring myself to go for the i7-8700, so I went instead for the i5-8400. After looking at z370 boards, I figured that they were great but since I wasn't overclocking, largely pointless. I...

    macOS High Sierra 10.13 Supplemental Update

    Quick addendum to jst say "me too". I tried and tried almost everything to get around this error, even resorting to booting into recovery mode, terminal, and making the directory structure that was missing and.. nada. I suspect _very_ heavily, that this is, indeed, an APFS "issue". I did a...

    stuck on apple logo yosemite

    Hello cawahe, I wanted to take a few moments to reply. I (like yourself) installed yosemite and then updated to 10.10.1. When I restarted my desktop, sometimes it would take minutes to get in, and this is with a SSD. I figured it was some boot setting or other. I updated my config...

    AMD/ATI 7xxx and "Rxxx" with Mavericks ?

    The lag you are seeing is lack of QE/CI. You can enable it by editing AMD7000Controller.kext's Info.plist and AMDRadeonX400.kext's Info.plist. Basically, change to have 0x68191002 wherever you find 0x68181002. Or append it beside it if you want. For some reason (probably no 7850/7870's inside...

    10.8.3: AMD Radeon HD 7xxx Graphics Testing Thread

    Wanting to confirm the Sapphire 7850 working (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004). I had to appended to the Info.plist inside AMDRadeonAccelerator.kext & ATI7000Controller.kext the value 0x68191002 wherever I found 0x68181002. It was 2 places tops, one inside each...

    HP dv7t (3085dx) 90% complete..

    Hey Firanolfind, I would if I could, but I have long since got rid of the laptop (it's about 2 laptops ago now) but, what I had to do in the 3085dx case was to leave the installed wireless card and then install the other wifi card down at the bottom of the case in the other mini-pci slot. Then I...

    laptop keyboard doesn't work

    when using multibeast, make sure to also check the Voodoo PS/2 controller in the drivers/kexts/misc section. That should get you working KB. NOTE to YOUR note: If you think that you are going to jst install OSX on a laptop without even -reading- or doing any digging yourself, you are in for a...

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    curious. I flung nvenabler away. With 10.6.6 and GraphicsEnable=Yes in the com.bios, there was no need for it. The less kexts the better. In good news as well, the updated fakesmc with monitoring finds the cpu and gpu temps ;) I had the webcam working without dsdt so, I would assume not. It...

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    Excellent! Yeah, my memory sticks were mixed as well. To be fair, I don't see there being a -huge- difference between 1066 and 1333 but, since it's marketed as a gaming laptop, I would have expected the same speed (whichever one they went with ;) yup, the second bay works fine for me as well...

    ebios read error: error 0x04

    ebios errors are almost, always, 100% media or 'burn' issues. Reburn the iboot cd at the lowest possible speed and use name brand media (sony, ricoh or my favourite verbatim). Using generic store bought 5 for 99c is going to cause problems. Burning at 52x is going to cause problems. Regards S.

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    It occurs to me, I should add one key point about the laptop. It has a gtx285m, which is based off of the g92 chipset from nvidia. What does this mean ? HDMI out to an HDCP monitor will NOT work. Ipso facto. Don't even BOTHER wasting time on this. Since 10.6.3, apple have changed something...

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    to be fair, I am not complaining about the price in the slightest because, well, it's a -great- price even WITH tax (blasted cali .. *sighs* oh well ;). congrats. actually, I have a top of the line mbp sitting a few inches away from me, and this thing isn't "in line" with the mbp (the $3k...

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    This is with -out- the use of a DSDT. Which makes it even funnier now that I think about it ;) Regards S.

    MSI GT660 (i7,6Gb,Nv 285m, USB 3.0) - Success

    Hello, I recently (as in today) got the MSI GT660. The laptop is currently onsale at NewEgg for $1k on the nose. The screen resolution is low (13xx by 768 - exact numbers escape me). So, I made the windows recovery disks from Win7 and then.. iBoot and OSX time :) I had to boot the iBoot...

    HP dv7t (3085dx) 90% complete..

    Hey Everyone, Sorry, I have been sadly busy with 'real life' (I really should try to avoid that as much as possible :). to get all cores working, you -must- currently install the legacy kernel from kexts.com. Nothing else, nor short of that, will work. The left usb ports you can probably...

    Advice on i5 Mac Book Pro hardware

    Hey disneytoy, I think that most of the sony's are similiar specs (the VFC11's or some such name). They have problems with the gt330m displaying on the laptop screen. Personally, and remember I am biased, I would say go for a dv7 3085dx; 1.6 GHz Intel Core i7 720QM, 6gb of ram (1066 I...
