issue is probably this part:

<key>DeviceProperties</key>
    <dict>
        <key>Add</key>
        <dict>
            <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x2,0x0)</key>
            <dict/>
            <key>AAPL,ig-platform-id</key>
            <data>BwCbPg==</data>
            <key>framebuffer-patch-enable</key>
            <data>AQAAAA==</data>
            <key>framebuffer-stolenmem</key>
            <data>AAAwAQ==</data>
            <key>PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x1b,0x0)</key>
            <dict>
                <key>layout-id</key>
                <data>AQAAAA==</data>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <key>Delete</key>
        <dict/>
    </dict>

also seems strange not to see Lilu.kext in your config.plist with your other kexts

XhciPortLimit has not worked since Catalina, should be disabled

Hello Feartech thank you for your help, you were right about there not having Lilu in my kext folder... and I have managed to get most things up and running, after hours of searching and reading. I would like to make a custom EFI folder for this Motherboard, can I ask what might be a stupid question... but hear goes I used Clover boot loader and pressed F4 to dump my DSDT and AML files it dumped 40 AML files including the DSDT would it be good to add all of them to my EFI/OC/ACPI folder ??? and if you have any other tips for me to build my EFI will be a big help

no, do not do that, that is not needed and may cause a lot of issues

you only need to grab your DSDT and run:

GitHub - corpnewt/SSDTTime: SSDT/DSDT hotpatch attempts.

SSDT/DSDT hotpatch attempts. Contribute to corpnewt/SSDTTime development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

as that can then create the needed SSDT's for your machine

Hello bazza08, Did you get your install on the Asus B660M-A D4 to work reliably, and if so, would you mind sharing your final EFI folder (minus your serial numbers of course) -- I have the same mainboard, and it starts all right and works for a few minutes, but then the computer spontaneously reboots, without any clue to the cause ...
Many thanks!
