Hey Samquansah

First of all thanks for the guide. Glad to see there's at least one person that has a successful install on the H170A.

I'm currently stuck. I did all the steps exactly as you've shown and when i try to boot from the USB the apple logo shows, then my usb light stops flashing and it just reboots. The only thing I've noticed that was different was when I copied the OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi file over to the usb drive, it didnt have the same name but was named OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi . Notice that there is a 2 after "..AptioFix...". I did the complete usb setup on a El Capitan 10.11.5 VMware.

I also booted the installer with the -v flag, but all i get is a bunch of ++++++++++++ signs and imediately reboots. I've attached a screenshot of the verbose screen.

It would greatly be appreciated if you could give me some advice on what to do as i cant seem to find anyone else with a succsesfull install on these hardware.

Hardware list :
Mobo : MSI H170A Gaming Pro
CPU : I5 6500
Graphics : AMD Radeon R7 370 (currently removed the graphics card to try install on internall Intel HD 530 first)
Ram : Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 4GB x2
SSD : Sandisk X300 256GB
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 500GB

dont know about ASrock mobo. u can check other post u will find it somewehere

Thanx.

Its sorted out now. I jus redownloaded a fresh installer from the appstore and did everything from start to finish as on your guide.

I dont know if its relevant to how you did your install but you might want to add it as a last step, I had to copy the osxaptiofixdrv-64.efi file to the HD as well to get mine booting otherwisd i get the "Aptio" error again. Just something to note for newcomers like myself !

Now all thats left to do is get my Radeon R7 370 up and running with full functionality and no lags... any suggestions ? Tried searching for guides but not alot of people using the card on mac yet..

Thumbs up to you for the guide!
