HELP: High Sierra Wont Boot without UNIBEAST Usb?

[frozenuk]

Just got hold of a friends Hackintosh after a power outage and wouldn't boot back into High Sierra. Found it took out the PSU and corrupted the Bios (reset)

Motherboard: GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3
i7 CPU 2600K

I can only boot when I use the UNIBEAST USB?

I didn't build this hackintosh so not sure what I'm doing wrong... possibly bios setting issues?

Any Help with this would be gratefully appreciated

I have attached Bios Images. - Thanks in advance!

IDE is not natively supported, should be AHCI.

thank you for a quick response!

I originally had it at AHCI but still getting the same problems..... I set it all back as per the images attached but I still get it booting to a black screen - sits there for a bit...flashes and still black... then nothing

still boots when seen and selected in UNIBEAST?

Just puzzling :/ - even plugged it into the faster 6GB Sata ports.... nothing :/

is there a way to see the loading in Verbose mode without the UNIBEAST Usb?

ITS BOOTED!!

Took a while though? Is this normal?

Its finally Booting but taking 9 mins to get to desktop (no apple or loading bar?) again... could this be a bios issue? Cheers again for your help

Does it always take 9 minutes to boot?

Hiya,

Yes, its taking ages to boot.... I must have some setting wrong in bios???

Or you could use the verbose mode to see what take so long.

Can you do Verbose mode without the UNIBEAST USB? - if i use the unibeast usb it loads perfect?
