From ioreg, graphics setup looks fine.
What kind of flickering are you referring to?
Check BIOS settings.
What is "output.text" all about? It does not seem related to ProBook and this thread.

I notice you're running Yosemite... From where did you download Yosemite?

The flickering is a quick "ghosting" (example: I'll see a duplicate tabs bar from my browser flashing for a split second a third of the way down the page.)

What should I be looking for in the BIOS settings?

The Yosemite was downloaded from a previous purchase on my iMac from the app store.

Check setting for DMVT-prealloc (IGPU preallocated memory). 0xa260006 ig-platform-id assumes 32mb.

You might consider updating at least to 10.11, as that's what this guide is for...

Was set at 32mb...tried changing that setting. No difference.

Will try updating to 10.11 and see what happens.

Thanks again for your help Rehabman

Rehabman-

Thank you for all of the guides and work you've put into making Hackintoshes available to the masses. And thanks in advance for your help with my issue.

I have Sierra loaded on my 840 G3, and have been trying to get my BCM94352Z (Lenovo flavor- if that matters) to work properly. I can connect to my local wifi and it works, but the best it can manage for speed is like dial up. I spent a couple of days tinkering with my previous install of Sierra on it before finally deciding it had to be something with the install, so I wiped it last night and rebuilt from scratch. Problem is, my wireless speed is still like using dial up.

Attached are the requested problem reporting files. I have a unique issue with the built in ethernet on this laptop that may be related to this wifi issue. The ethernet runs great, and at normal speeds. The thing is, for ethernet to work I must boot the laptop with the ethernet cable connected if I want to use it. If I disconnect and reconnect the ethernet after it has been booted (and working) OR if I connect the cable after the laptop has booted it will never obtain an IP address. The symptoms I see as I observe SysPrefs->Network as it obtains an IP is it will report the ethernet as connected but no IP, it then appears to reset and says the ethernet is disconnected, then goes back to ethernet connected but no IP. It will sit in this loop infinitely. If I reboot the laptop and don't change any physical connections it will work. My laptop has the I5-6300U processor which should mean it has the I219-V ethernet card. I'm running your IntelMausiEthernet kext.

I'm sure this problem is the result of something stupid I've done. Thanks for your time reviewing my wall of text and attached files.

Ethernet and WiFi are separate devices, separate problems...

For Ethernet, you might try the latest IntelMausiEthernet.kext from Mieze. I haven't updated my build in a while...
For WiFi, check your antenna connections.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if they shared any components.

The antenna connections are set properly. I've tried them flip-flopped and have the same experience.

Everything from a software perspective look proper with my config?

You should check that you have the latest kexts. Easy to do by running download.sh and install_downloads.sh as per post #1.
And if you're not in North America, you should check that you have the correct WiFI patch for your region.
Don't forget to disable "Wake for network" in SysPrefs->Energy Saver.
And check your BIOS settings to be certain any "network stack" options are disabled.

That is something you should have done before posting...

From ioreg, things look fine.
