Hello everyone,
My old account from around 2010 has been deleted, I had to make a new one.
I am having a problem installing Big Sur on my desktop. This is on my machine which ran Catalina Opencore perfectly fine for a couple of years, until I upgraded my GPU from a 5700XT to a 6800XT. This is the reason I want to install Big Sur.
The Big Sur installation started normally so I formatted my SSD and started the installation. The first phase went fine until the system rebooted and continued to the 2nd phase with the black screen with white Apple logo and countdown timer. It starts at 29 minutes remaining and when it gets to 27 minutes remaining my PC reboots and it starts this over again, starting at 29 minutes remaining and rebooting at 27 minutes remaining.
I have followed the Opencore guide meticulously and don't think I have skipped any steps or made a mistake, but maybe I did.
My specs:
Things I have tried:
Installing with 1 ram stick, I have read somewhere that anybody had bad ram and solved this problem. My ram is new and this didn't solve the problem.
Turning off TPM (PTT for gigabyte in BIOS)
No other peripherals or any USB devices connected, just my Apple Keyboard and MX Master mouse
Trying the installation a second time
I have set all BIOS settings according to Opencore guide, these settings also have always worked with my Catalina Opencore installation.
I hope someone see's something wrong in my EFI folder or anything else I am doing wrong.
