Hi,
I am new to hackintosh. I am trying to install high sierra on my alienware 15 r3 i7-700hq, gtx1070, gsync, hdd laptop but I am always stucking at apple logo. Please see my clover file.
error msg:
(com.apple.windowServer) Service only ran for 0 seconds. Pushing respawn out by 10seconds
I’m running an AW17R5 (i9/1080)
NVMe0: OS X 10.13.6 H.Sierra
NVMe1: Black Arch
HDD: Storage
As simple as it sounds; read everything|anything on here, carefully.
The reason you’re getting 1 word answers; RehabMan & Co. spend way too much time redirecting questions to their respective threads, and cannot help you without ALL the information==Do a bit of leg work; reading, hardware profile, appropriate thread posting, etc.

Copy Clover Configurator, Clover Installer, and MultiBeast==respectively to the USB main drive (NOT EFI PARTITION)

A thought or two... The install WILL fail. When it gets to around 2 minutes left, your machine will restart. No worries... Boot back into Clover. Rather than trying “Install MacOS” again, boot from the internal drive/target drive (do this 2-3 times; it WILL work)
Also... Something that isn’t mentioned enough: have an Ethernet/Cat cable ready; you’re gonna need it.
Hope that helped.
