Hello, All:
I've been amazed and appreciative of the resources here as this community has helped me to build my first Hackintosh. Until two days ago, everything had gone more or less flawlessly as I got everything working using the internal GPU while I waited on my bluetooth adapter and my GTX 950 GPU. The machine is nice and powerful and works wonderfully.
Two days ago the GPU arrived and all that easy progress ground to a halt. :-}
After much reading and struggling, I have the latest NVIDIA web drivers installed and they remain selected in the NVIDIA system preference panel but Clover boots at 800x600 (and so does my BIOS setup screen) and stays there throughout the boot process. I get the Black Screen After Boot / At Login issue so many others have complained about. If I turn on the nv_disable=1 option this does not happen but the screen remains at 800x600 (though the NVIDIA Web Drivers are still selected in system prefs) and the system profiler reports the graphics as "NVIDIA Chip Model 1MB". Also, under the ECC tab, it shows “No Device Found” under the 4 slots in the list.
I also noticed (due to the open-air case I have) that when I get the black screen the video card goes into silent/stop mode; the WINDFORCE logo turns off and the fans power down, silent/stop lights turn on). No amount of screen sleeping/waking, switching to DisplayPort (using a DisplayPort to HDMI adaptor) gets the display back.
My build stats (and Clover config) are below.
I'm currenly using the iMac17,1 profile but have tried iMac14,*, MacPro* with associated serials/board IDs generated by Clover Configurator (Messages seems happy with all but MacPro6, so I assume things match up correctly).
Things I've tried:
As for BIOS, I have dual display turned off and I've tried both PEG (PCI Graphics) and Auto settings; both bring up my display during boot when plugged into the graphics card.
Build Info:
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-WS w/latest firmware (3002, released 01/26/2017).
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700, 4Ghz Quad-Core
RAM: 32GB DDR4

Storage: 250GB Samsung SATA SSD
OS: 10.12.4, 16E195)
PSU: 750W
PCI Path in IOReg: _SB.PCI0.PEG0.PEGP (corresponds to the first PCI slot).
No WIFI / Bluetooth Installed Yet

Things I've tried:
- Tried AGDPfix (v1.0 and v1.3, the later multiple times across reboots, since one person here suggested they’d done the same and it fixed his problem the second time).
- Tried NVIDIA WebDriver Updater and combination of unpatched/patched NVDAStartupWeb.kext and with/without NVEnabler.kext.
- NvidiaWeb=YES
- InjectKexts = YES
- InjectSystemID = YES
- Tried w/wo nvda_drv=1
- Tried w/wo Inject NVidia (and all permutations of these last two)
- Tried w/wo FixDisplay_0100 (I use NewWay_80000000 for fixes)
- Tried w/wo AddHDMI_80000000
- Tried disabling CSM but this results in the display never coming on during POST and no boot.
- Tried following suggestions in this thread (including the guide at the head).
- Tried following DSDT/SSDT patching instructions here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/ssdt-gpu-graphics-card-injection.183354/ (but the directions don’t quite match up with what I was seeing so I’m not sure I did it right, so I backed out of all changes when it didn’t work).
- I also tried the fixes here: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solving-nvidia-driver-install-loading-problems.161256/ (Problem 4, methods 1 AND 2, separately)
As for BIOS, I have dual display turned off and I've tried both PEG (PCI Graphics) and Auto settings; both bring up my display during boot when plugged into the graphics card.
