Screen goes black on El Capitan

Screen goes black on Sony Vaio VPCF115FM

I am new to Hackintosh. I have a Sony Vaio VPCF115FM laptop. It's configuration is as follows:

• Bios: AMI (Aptio 1.28.1119)
• Processor: Intel Core i7 720QM, 2366 Mhz
• Motherboard Chipset: Intel Ibex PeakM PM55, Intel Lynnfield
• Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (1024 MB)
• Audio: Realtek HDAudio

I recently installed El Capitan on it by formatting the whole drive i.e. only OS is Mac OSX. I used the below Guide:

Post installation, I downloaded nVidia Driver from below location and installed.

http://us.download.nvidia.com/Mac/Quadro_Certified/346.03.06f01/WebDriver-346.03.06f01.pkg

But when the laptop starts with nvda_drv=1 the screen just turns black and switches off after some time, around 2/3rds of progress is complete on apple logo screen. I tried fixing with the method mentioned in problem 4 in below link, but still no luck.

Only way for me to get into screen is by setting "nv_disable-1" flag but the screen resolution is stuck at 1200x1024 and it reverts back to 1024x768 when I set display mode to 1920x1080.

Please help me in resolving this issue. My config.plist is attached below.

I'm not sure the nvidia web drivers are appropriate for your hardware.

Try native drivers with NVidia inject (config.plist/Graphics/Inject/NVidia=true). You may also need to inject EDID.

Also, you will need to be using an SMBIOS that allows Nvidia.
