It sounds to me like your IGPU is not enabled. Please check your bios and make sure they are like this:
Actually, continuity is partly working, but I cannot use my Apple Watch to unlock macOS.This is no longer the case. My Dell DW1560 works perfectly with hand-off and everything else.
I'm using a Dell 1560 and continuity works perfectly..
@pastrychef and anyone who can help. I am trying to help 2 people using Z390s with MSI Radeon 560s booting to black. I had a similar issue during my first install leading me to believe that the standard 14.2 platform Id is an issue but others say it it is the most common.
I suspect they are having a having a FrameBuffer issue which seems to be confirmed by one person having different information in Hackintool CPU info and Framebuffer info.
I am thinking they need to use a platform Id 18.3 to boot, I am using 18.1. Is that correct? As to the actual platform id do they need to enter it here or is this no longer necessary? Are there any other tips or tricks you can suggest?
They are both trying to use my EFI to boot but I have an RX-580 pulse.

Lastly, they do not have network access when installing, does that need to be enabled?
Thanks!
@pastrychef I did not actually use that method, I was just asking for the correct way to do it. The most frustrating thing about Hackintoshing is how quickly things get deprecated to the "the old way of doing things" yet the bulk of the advice is on precisely that. Luckily there are veterans like you to help!
I am advising them to plug into the DVI port of the 560, if they have a cable. Now for the litany of questions:
1) When I used the standard UniBeast install method, I would always boot to black. Seeing as 14.2 is the standard I am wondering if that is the issue for myself and others on this platform. What do you think?
2) Is the new method necessary for me if my system is working perfectly? Is it a good 'safety?
3) Could the new method be the key to fixing the boot to black screen issue on Z390 with RX580 or RX 560?
Thanks!
@pastrychef Oops, forgot to say that we do see the clover boot screen but when the OSX progress bar starts to fill, there is a flash, and then the screen goes black, leading me to believe it is a graphics issue.
This is the same issue I had originally.
