Here's what I did for a clean install for my system at left in my signature.
The key for me was to remove the graphics card, configure the system, then re-install the graphics card.
The key for me was to remove the graphics card, configure the system, then re-install the graphics card.
- Removed graphics card. Set BIOS to integrated graphics (IGPU) and connect only IGPU HDMI to one monitor.
- Clean install of High Sierra via USB stick. When on Desktop, mounted EFI and deleted old EFI contents. Installed Clover 4223 on SSD.
- Copy config.plist from Sierra to EFI. Use Clover configurator to change CsrActiveConfig to 0x0 and save to enable SIP.
- Reboot.
- Make sure that the Security and Privacy System Preference pane General tab setting for "Allow apps downloaded from:" is set to "App Store and identified developers"
- Install Nvidia drivers. During the installation, a window with a message like "The [...] kext is not signed and, in the Security and Privacy System Preference pane, you can approve its installation" (or something like that). Approve the change in Security Prefs Pane
- Use Clover configurator to change CsrActiveConfig to 0x67 and save to disable SIP.
- Reboot and change BIOS to PCIEx1 for initial display device or whichever PCIE slot your graphics card is in.
- Shutdown. Disconnect HDMI cable from IGPU, Install Graphics card and plug in monitor(s) to Display port(s).
- Install Audio via toleda's script. If you get No audio detected, may have to Clear CMOS and reset BIOS settings.
- I did NOT have to set NvidiaWeb to True in config.plist.
