I installed High Sierra last night on my new hackintosh build, details in my profile. Everything went smoothly, the system had restarted and booted from my ssd and ran multi beast, and started installing Lightroom and photoshop cc, etc. At some point during the night it went to sleep. I woke up this am and moved the Mose to wake it and nothing happens, the system had shutdown. I restarted it and booted through clover to the ssd and the Apple logo started loading and then my system crashes to a black screen and the monitor shuts off, any ideas?
 
It seems that Multibeast didn't do a well job.

First, boot with -v verbose mode (set using Space bar on Clover) and take a picture before the reset.

About the post-installation (Multibeast), your hardware configuration is so close to mine, send me your config.plist file if you can and at the moment, try to boot using the USB installer. I'm sure that is a problem about a flags or AMD Graphics.

Will do when I get home tonight! Thanks so much!
 
Here you go, some of these may overlap a bit.

Here's a copy of my config.plist file, let me know what you think,
It is a joke.
Try with the attached edited version.
Ensure that your integrated graphics are disabled.

Note that pictures of the boot are worthless for diagnosis, we don't need to see it working.
