RAM Upgrade Issue

[thelord78]

I have 4GB of ram already installed, it is soldered onto the motherboard. There is 1 slot for additional ram & the board can support up to 8GB. Here are the full specs of my laptop.

I have tried using AptioMemoryFix, OsxAptioFix-64, OsxAptioFix2-64, OsxAptioFix3-64 & OsxLowMemFixDrv-64. I've used them one at a time and not together at any point. I can see the 8GB of ram in the BIOS and I can boot to the clover boot screen but I only get as far as the ++++++++++++++++++++++++ signs using Verbose.
MacOS has been updated to 10.14.2. Everything works.

Attached are my PR files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Need EFI/Clover after pressing F2 with the additional RAM installed.
Or you can check your misc/preboot.log yourself.
Note Clover detected memory:

If it is inaccurate, use config.plist/SMBIOS/Memory to set accurate details.

No problem, thanks. Have done that and attached PR files.

Your config.plist/SMBIOS has no Memory section.
Read the Clover documentation for details.
