From Problems to Full Guide GA-Z270X-UD3 - i5-7600 - Geforce 1070Ti

[goldjungee]

Hi guys.



I will document my way to a full working hackintosh.



My System:

• GA-Z270X-UD3
• i5-7600
• Geforce 1070Ti
• 500GB SSD 750 Samsung

1. Create USB Using Unibeast 8.3.1 with High Sierra.
2. Disable Internal Graphics in Bios
3. Install
4. I installed the NVIDIA drivers using this thread: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/nvidia-update-simple-way-to-install-nvidia-web-drivers.244987/
___________________________________
Install NVIDIA:
Simply paste the following line in a terminal:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Benjamin-Dobell/nvidia-update/master/nvidia-update.sh)

5. Use Multibeast with all the settings like in the Picture below


6. Hackintosh reboots on shutdown: Clover Configurator - ACPI - Fixshutdown_0004 fixed it

7. Audio installation:

7.0)
Disable SIP: change value for CsrActiveConfig in config on EFI
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x67</string>

7.1) Install 100 / 200 /300 Series Audio Support. REBOOT

7.2) Install 200 / 300 Series Audio Device ID Patch. REBOOT

7.3) Install FakePCIID_Intel_HDMI_Audio.kext and FakePCIID.kext with Kextbeast to /Library/Extensions

7.4) Install ALC1220



Problems at the beginning:

USB Problems:

This Board has only USB3 Ports.

When I created an USB stick on my El Capitan MacBook the USB3 stick was not detected in my hackintosh.

Using a USB 2 or an SD-Card 2.0 Reader fixed the problem.



BIOS:
I had to disable Internal Graphics in BIOS

Reboot on Shutdown-Click
Clover Configurator - ACPI - Fixshutdown_0004 fixed it

Graphic Issues

1. Close Safari
2. Open the Terminal app (Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
3. Enter the following command: defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
4. Then hit return
5. Now relaunch Safari
6. You will see the Debug menu in Safari’s menubar
7. Click Debug
8. Select Drawing/Compositing Flags
9. Choose “Disable Canvas Accelerated Drawing” and “Disable Full Page Accelerated Drawing”.
10. Now check to see if your problem is fixed.

Actually, I only disabled Full Page Accelerated Drawing

It's been 24 hours with 0 slowdowns or reboots. I was actually beginning to hate my hackintosh.

First, best to remove the NVidia card when trying to get your system up and running - no need to complicate things yet. Once it is running and stable, adding the NVidia card should be much easier.

Second, you'll need to post your Clover folder, zipped, and minus the Themes folder.

Third, the screen shot you posted is a data dump - we need the screen shot of the error(s) that happen just prior to that. Go through the video, frame-by-frame, and find the last point just before that dump, then post that screen.

Thank you for your quick answer. I can still boot from USB without a problem. I think its because of the nvidia-driver.

Its so frustrating that i am close to giving up.





right now i am on my windows computer. i will upload the efi folder tomorrow.

1000 Thanks

Telling everyone that you are going to give up does not inspire anyone to help.

There is no requirement to host your images / files on third party sites - You may attach them to your posts here.

Yes you are right.

Sometimes its just frustrating and you need to go to sleep

I will reinstall now and unplug my Nvidia card as Munson said. I will document every step I take to get to a full guide install so that I can help others.

Might be the better way

As it sounds like you are starting over, be sure to follow the guide very carefully, and be sure to leave the NVidia card out of the system.

EDIT: Also, clear pictures are more helpful than blurry ones...

Yes. I removed the NVIDIA card and did a new clean install. As before.. the installation went without any problems. I used Multibeast now and did just the UEFI Boot Mode first.



edit: its blurry because of the video speed. I also made a slow mo video but this was even worse.

Now I reboot with -v and lets see what happens

The System got into Boot Loop. I could boot again when I have chosen the USB UEFI in boot menu.
Than the ethernet was not working so I installed the latest mausii via multibeast.

I get the following error when I reboot the system.

efi folder without theme is attached.

I get the following error when I reboot the system.

Disable integrated graphics in BIOS settings.

Disable integrated graphics in BIOS settings.

Did that. Now I can’t see anything. I just disabled the graphics of my board right?

I did remove my graphic card. May I plug it in again?
