Hi fellow Hackintoshers,
I've been struggling for a week with my new build. Everything seems to work fine except (I suppose) the GPU which is giving me way too many headaches. I hope you can help me out!
BUILD
iMac 17,1
Mobo: GA-Z170x-Ultra Gaming rev 1.0 (BIOS: f22)
CPU: i7 6700k 4.0gHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 1050 ti
RAM: 64 GB Crucial Premium Memory
Displays:
THUNDERBOLT AUDIO INTERFACE: UAD Apollo 8 Quad
ISSUE(s)
1: Blackscreen at restart
When turning on the computer sends video signal from the dvi port of the gpu and it works ok every time.
When I restart it sends signal from the displayport of the gpu and the loading bar gets to 1/3 and either the screen goes black or more recently it just hangs there. Fans still run but the conputer never shuts down so I need to force restart or shutdown.
If restart and tick boot arg: nv_disable ...Boots into system without nvidia drivers.
If shutdown and turn on: sends signal from the dvi port and it boots normally.
Second issue: While surfing or downloading stuff with safari, chrome or installing software even (still haven't worked properly to say if it happens with other apps) I randomly get black screens on the CF791 (connected to the DP Port) but the system still works. Sometimes it turns back on after a couple of seconds and I can see the desktop again but sometimes it stays black.
However this doesn't happen with the other output (hdmi). That's how I know the system's still running.
Fixes that I already tried:
1. All possible fixes referred to in this post --> https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...-imac-15-or-imac-17-system-definition.183113/
2. Installed Lilu.kext and the other kext in all possible locations S/L/E , L/E, EFI/CLOVER/kext/10.12, EFI/CLOVER/kext/Others
3. Also followed the very well explained guide attached as pdf I found in another post.
I also attached my EFI folder with my current config.plist
I'm very confused and a bit frustrated. I've been searching and reading everything I could find in the forum. I even learned how to create a SSDT to control the USB port limit. But now I'm clueless and I need this great community's assistance!
Can someone help me figure this out? I'll be very grateful!!!
Look forward to your replies
