Ok, first I'm sorry to open a new "me too" thread ; I've read a lot of recent threads but I think I've reached the point where I can't get no further by myself.
Here's the hardware:
I've updated from the app store my Sierra hackintosh (which was working perfectly) and entered (as a lot of people) the nvidia nightmare. I've followed the advices of the update guide (update clover to latest version, etc). After the update my Geforce was not working anymore (with the gIOScreenLockState of death). I had to fallback to the integrated GPU of the Mobo (Intel HD530), it did not work at first and I had to work with a USB key with a fresh install of Clover ; so I could check again my minimal requirements for my hardware, and had to install : OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi to be able to boot, USBInjectAll not to loose my USB at macos start, Lilu+IntelGraphicsFixup to be able to use my GPU. Then I cleaned my HDD Clover to be able to work without the USB key. At that point I had (I still have), an up and running High Sierra without the Geforce.
Now, about the Geforce.
I can't get it to work how matter hard I read and try. It used to work "natively" on Sierra ; I mean, it would work perfectly and full featured without the NVidia web drivers, just with the plain Apple drivers. I had installed the web drivers once, but the result was full of glitches so I had stuck to the apple ones which were perfect.
This is what I've worked on :
Does any one have any advice ? metholody ? trick ?
Thanks a lot!
Here's the hardware:
- Mobo : ASUS B150M-A-D3
- CPU : Core i5 6400
- The bloody bastard graphics card: MSI Geforce GT730 2GB (Video Controller : Nvidia GF108 / 10de:0f02)
- Plain HDD (no SSD)

This is what I've worked on :
- SIP playing & NVidia Web drivers uninstall reinstall as stated by others.
- BIOS disabling of mobo integrated GPU.
- Smbios 14,1 / 14,2 / 17,1 (all give the same results).
- Trying the new web drivers (still having the gIOScreenLockState, even with nvda_drv=1, and mobo GPU disabled).
- Trying to boot in downgraded mode : nv_disable=1 (no luck : still having the gIOScreenLockState)
- Fake id : 0x12345678 (The card is recognized as '5MB monitor').
