macOS Big Sur Install Failure (USB?)

[marloluk]

Hey guys! I did have a good installation going on my HP Envy 750-114 (i5-6400, 16gb Ram, SSD), but it became super laggy and weird so I decided to reinstall. I used my same EFI, but have been running into errors all to do with the same thing and I have no idea how to fix it. I have tried rebuilding my .plist multiple times, with no effect. The stranger thing is is my PC is rebooting when it stops, not just stopping verbose. I have attached a Slow-Mo video and a stopping point photo. I should note I am no longer using Intel Wifi - I am using a Broadcom 94360CS through an adapter, although it is unplugged in an attempt to solve the issue. I just have no idea what to do and need help! I am using OpenCore 8.9.

The New Beginner's Guide to USB Port Configuration

Important Update: June 2023 From Big Sur 11.3 on the built-in OpenCore XhciPortLimit quirk no-longer worked as described. This became a known "bug", though in reality it was Apple changing their internal code, making a simple "peek and poke" to keep it operating, a difficult task. However, with...

I removed all the kexts, although I am running Big Sur. Should I still follow the guide?

Ok I figured it out. Turns out it wasn’t opencore’s fault at all. I tried to boot windows and map my usb ports with UsbToolbox, but it would still restart before getting to the desktop so i figured it was a hardware issue. I reinstalled my GPU that i had taken out to install the Wi-Fi card, (mind you it’s a gtx960) it booted right up. A bit confused, but hey, it worked.
