TLDR I was trying to adjust my smbios so my system wasn't recognized as MacPro 3.1. I followed the https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-how-to-configure-your-systems-smbios-correctly.198155/ guide, in theory, but when I restarted I got stuck in a boot loop with kernel panic. Attempted to google the issue, but in the meantime after 3-4 restarts, my computer now gets stuck at the motherboard splash screen with no response to button presses or holds upon startup.
My video card is unplugged and my keyboard is plugged into USB 2.0, both things that probably have little to no effect on the issue, but I have read are issues in other circumstances.
I would even be willing to reinstall the OS, but I can't get to a screen to even load a flash drive to boot. Any suggestions for steps I could take to get past hurdle #1 so I can deal with any number of future issues?
Thanks
