Yes exactly the same problem but i found a solutionanyone notice windows crashing with the network card recommended in this guide?
Yes, we know. But for an official install and so the kexts always load properly, install them to L/E, the proper way.I put in my Sabrent Rocket 2tb NVME in and did a full reinstall. It's running like a dream now. Here are some things Ive noticed.
- The instructions call for the kexts to do put in L/E but it works 100% ok in the clover/kexts/other
This is why EmuVariableUefi-64.efi is included in the Post Installation Clover folder./- If you ever had an issue with Nvidia web drivers is stuck in default macOS driver and not using the web driver make sure you have the EmuVariableUefi-64.efi in your Clover/drivers64UEFI directory
Yep, but the only issue is you can't use the Nvidia card on Mojave and up.- The 1070 Max-Q Nvidia Card accelerates the laptop screen, if you have an external monitor plugged in AND set the primary display as the external monitor. I've tested this in Unigine Valley and dragging the window around I still get 60fps while the intel HD gets 6-10fps.
Issues:
- My cpu power limits at 25W. If you see the post above I've somewhat fixed it. But the CPU fan curve remains on "balanced" (synapse in windows 10) the fans don't ramp up to full speed to compensate the increased heat. This is not a problem in windows 10
- When I would shutdown or restart it would just hang with the status light blinking on the bottom of the laptop where I would force to just shut it down.
Did anyone ever end up posting a solution to this?
Check out @stonevil 's guide on github, too. He did a great job with pictures, bios mods and all kinds of things. It's primarily for the early 2019 model but it should apply to the 2018 and mid 2019 model as well.

It's hard for me to troubleshoot or pinpoint anything with your set up because you're on the 2019 model. That makes the biggest difference with trackpad issues and what not. But you've tried all of the latest drivers for it?Hey @vettz500, nice to have you back
My build has been pretty stable as well, but there are a couple of annoying things that I can't seem to fix.
Touchpad is still a little jumpy and while using it you can see kernel_task using up to 70% cpu. Drags cancel midway through as well which can be frustrating.
Power usage is a little wonky sometimes. It seems to happen when the device is on battery or was sleeping. Fans kick in and it gets a little hot and you can see the battery draining faster than normal. CPU usage is low while that is happening so it might be the GPU? Can't say for sure though.
Audio is also tricky. I still have the distorted headphone thing and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Restarting coreaudio helps sometimes (sudo killall coreaudiod) but what consistently helps for me is booting into Windows, restarting and booting back into macOS. Could also be a power management thing as it only really happens when on battery.

The errors you're getting are consistent with those that you get if you try to install OSX on the stock SSD that the Razer Blade comes with. Did you upgrade the SSD to an approved one that works with OSX?I tried following stonevil guide and tried using his files on my RB15 Base Model, I couldn't even get to the installer screen, tried deleting some of the DSDT files mentioned on his guide, and I tried using all DSDT's aswell, attempting to install mojave with vettz files now, let's see how it goes.
EDIT: No luck using vettz files aswell.
I’m using Samsung 860 Evo sata ssd, i removed the m.2 ssd for the installation and it has windows on it.The errors you're getting are consistent with those that you get if you try to install OSX on the stock SSD that the Razer Blade comes with.
