Hi,
I just got the same motherboard but I'm having the same issue as you. I get the Apple logo and progress bar, and that's it! Were you able to fix the issue?
Thanks!
Hey!
Yes, I did get it to work quite well running 10.11; I could install and successfully boot 10.12 but had issues with graphics artifacts and USB 3. For 10.11, I believe the issue ended up being a BIOS setting that I missed.
What I would try:
- Double and triple check your BIOS settings. I think the one I missed causing the issue was xHCI Handoff... make sure it's enabled.
- Install from a USB2 port. Slows installation but USB2 seems to work much better out of the box than USB3. I think I ended up being able to install on a USB3 port, but I don't remember 100%.
- Install 10.11 instead of 10.12 for now. I'm sure it's possible to get 10.12 working as well as 10.11, but the time it seemed it would take to fix the problems I mentioned outweighed their benefits for me and my use case.
When you do get to the installer portion and are able to install successfully, there's a thread around here somewhere of someone who also has our mobo, and in that post they describe the specific MultiBeast options that ended up working for them (and me).
