Hi every experts:

I've just installed the EI Capitan to My PC.
My PC config is:

MB:MSI B150M BAZOOKA
CPU: Intel I5-6500
Display card: nvidia geforce GT620 1024MB
RAM: one 16G DDR4 ram

Use multiBeast to setup bootloader.

- 1. Display problem
To boot up the OSX, I have to set the boot arguments "nv_disable=1".
But, using this setup, OSX cannot be shown as FULL screen. (my display card and Monitor can show 1920x1080),
It shows 1280x720 resolution, and screen flush sometime.
I tried to installed nvidia web driver (WebDriver-346.03.06f01.pkg), and then reboot the system (the boot arguments auto set to use "nvda_drv=1") , but after a few seconds, the screen go to "BLACK" screen.
So what should I do next?

-2. Audio problem
No audio,Go to System preferences > Sound.
output / input tab shows no devices found.
Do I missed to install audio driver? if yes, how to setup?

-3. Ram became 8GB only.
When I click "About this mac", it shows the memory is "8GB 3200 MHz DDR4"
Actually, I've 16 GB ram. What should I do to make OSX use up to 16 GB ram?

I've attached my config.plist. hope it can help.
Thanks every expert.

try to inject Nvidia under Display in config.plist
 
OK, the (1) display problem is fixed. (I guess after setup the Ethernet, the monitor driver download and install automatically)
and without "nv_disable=1" boot args, can show OSX in FULL screen mode.

But, (2)Audio and (3) Ram problem still not fixed.
Anyone has solution?
 
nothing happens automatically in hackintosh as far as drivers are concerned. They are either built-in in the operating system or you have to install kexts/DSDT/SSDT or modify config.plist to activate them.

For audio look at your motherboard manual, figure out what chipset it uses and search the forum on what folks did to make it work.
 
I see. Thanks for your reply.
I think I did something wrong.
now, I cannot boot OSX. (even I use nv_disble=1)
maybe config.plist is not correct.
I've a backup of the previous config.plist, but I don't know how to restore it.
 
Ok, i can boot OSX now.

But I am still facing Audio and Ram problem
for audio, I've check my motherboard manual, it is ACL887
But, I tried to import
- Realtek ALC887/888b
- or Realtek ALC887/888b Legacy
- or even Universal VoodooHDA v2.8.8
in MultiBeast

build > restart
and still no sound....
 
Thank you .
After adding this to config.plist:
----
<key>RtVariables</key>
<dict>
<key>CsrActiveConfig</key>
<string>0x3</string>
<key>BooterConfig</key>
<string>0x28</string>
</dict>
----
and use multibeast to add audio again, it works !
thanks.

But I still have RAM problem
(Exact ram is 16GB, but shows 8GB only)
