These are the 3 original files that I was talking about, I think I might have confused you. I have already flash the chip with your "Gigabyte-Vision-D-NVM-50-Elias64Fr-CaseySJ.bin" firmware, what should I do next, or maybe that is fine?

Haha, thanks, but do I still need to generate SSDT-DTGP.aml and SSDT-TB3HP.aml files? Do I flash my chip with those files?

Job done means exactly that.

Hello @nss,

Do you have multiple operating systems installed such as Windows and/or Linux?

When you get this error, just go to BIOS Setup --> Boot and set first boot priority to the name of your macOS SSD.

Hi,
Thanks for your response, I've tried what you suggested, but the BIOS settings revert themselves every time I try this.
This is what I did:
Error pops on my screen as I try to boot macOS with "no entrance" sign,
restarted PC by clicking the physical PC restart button because I can't enter BIOS from OpenCore boot menu
entered BIOS settings,
entered Boot tab,
Boot order was:
1. OpenCore
2. name of macOS NVMe,
3. Windows Boot Manager.

Switched it to:
1. name of macOS NVMe,
2. OpenCore
3. Windows Boot Manager.

Also updated the time because it wasn't accurate, then Save & Exit, BOOT settings reverted and macOS somehow boots, until the error will happen once again.

Is there any solution to prevent BIOS settings from reverting themselves?

I wonder if the coin cell battery on the motherboard is depleted...

You think I should replace the motherboard's battery?

If the board is not remembering BIOS settings and/or time, then a dead battery could be the cause. It's worth trying.

Hi @CaseySJ, my Hackintosh almost performs like a real Mac now. However, sometimes I get a black screen on the login page when I turn my Hackintosh on, but if I turn off my monitor then everything will be fine again, is there any solution to that? Also, I noticed that the Gigabyte smart fans system is not working on Hackintosh. No matter how high the temperature of my CPU is, the fans won't speed up. I have an i9 10850K and NZXT Kraken Z73, however, there's no NZXT support on Mac OS(I mean why would they support Mac OS ever......), so there is no way I can monitor the CPU temperature and control the Fan speed of my system while running Mac OS. Please help, thank you!

I know AMD GPUs are very expensive and very difficult to find at this time so I will not harp about getting one!

Instead, to make the best of the UHD 630 at this time, here are some things to try. No guarantees they'll work, but they're worth doing:

BIOS Setup --> Increase DVMT Pre Alloc.
BIOS Setup --> CSM Support --> Enabled.

If no help, try adding these Boot Args to OpenCore config.plist (one at a time):

gfxrst=1
gfxrst=4

If no help, then try these Boot Args as well (one or both at the same time is okay):

igfxagdc=0
igfxonln=1

By the way, what is the make/model of your monitor?
And are you using HDMI or DisplayPort (with a USB-C to DP cable)?

The NZXT Kraken Z73 is supported in macOS through Jonas Malaco's liquidctl. Instructions for installing and configuring it are located here:
