Put the hackintosh away for a few days during renovations. Today, I started it back up, and the computer no longer boots successfully with Nvidia Web Drivers. The only way i can get to my desktop is by pressing space bar at clover boot screen, and selecting cancel hibernate wake (even though the computer was not hibernating beforehand, remember it was fully unplugged from power outlet for several days). Somehow, this forces loading of OSX default graphics driver.
Upon loading, if i choose to the Web Drivers from the Nvidia Prefernce Pane, it prompts me to reboot, so i know it is not loading properly (also the resolution is different):
Went into clover configurator:
checked nvda_drv=1 so that i would load NVIDIA web drivers from boot args. Again, same issue. Gets to Apple loading screen, bar shows up, and about 1/3 of the way through i get the black screen. The thing is, everything was working totally fine a week ago.
Before I try restoring everything from a back-up, does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do from here?
side note: I also have this parameter added to config.plist for NVIDIA web drivers, and this was what previously forced loading of them over OSX NVIDIA drivers (as I understand it - could be mistaken). I left this condition when I tried with nvda_drv = 1.
EDIT: Just found this, should be displaying NVIDIA GTX 780 but instead:
Now, from the NVIDIA WEB DRIVERS troubleshooting thread i know a lack of recognised NVRAM will cause this "default boot with osx drivers" situation. To that end, i installed their clover program (not clover configurator, the other one where you install emuvariable-64 or something) to fix the VRAM issue. It worked fine last week, but now this is showing as such?
Is it safe just to reinstall the EMUVARIABLE 64 and see if that works?
