Sigh, my old Optiplex 780 hackintosh died and I was pretty tired of how slow it was anyway. So I got all excited when I saw the buyers guide for the CustoMac Pro. Too easy right? Well it was up to this point.
Per recommendation from the CustoMac Pro build buyers guide I went with the following:
Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Bios vers. F6)
Core i9-10850K
Radion RX580
2X 32GB Crucial DDR4 3200Mhz kit
Everything is working as far as POST, Bios setup using steps outlined in the build instructions.
Verbatim created the installer USB drive and had zero issues (great instructions BTW!).
The installer USB UniBeast/Multibeast disk boots up normally.
I choose to install from the Catalina Installer disk (in verbose), and I see drive activity for about 5 seconds on the USB drive. The Apple logo appears. The attached keyboard and mouse go dark and it just stays like that. Like power has been cut off form the USB hub. No progress bar. Nothing even shows up in the verbose so it's like it's failing before it even starts. Just an Apple logo making fun of me XD.
I went through the Z490 build here too and considered other Bios settings that were there but to no luck.
I did select Optimized Default each time before adding the other settings and saving in the bios.
My Corsair power supply (RM650x) does not have any USB cable for monitoring (I read that causes issues and some models have it).
My guess is that it's something USB or Thunderbolt related though but I'm at a point where I'm telling myself I must be missing something obvious, but I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts?
