Hi,
After putting it off for a very long time I am finally trying to install High Sierra on my Z77MA-G45.
I have followed the standard instructions but its not working.
I didn't have to change any settings from default to get the installer up and running. I get to the 2nd reboot (where you boot from the USB stick then run the install from clover) and it gets about halfway with 8 mins remaining and hangs - with a "calculating time remaining" message on the screen. I left this overnight just to be sure and it was still at the same point 8 hours later.
I have tried SMBIOS 18,3 as suggested in other posts but the same thing happens. I tried verbose mode but you dont get any messages on screen during the 2nd step of the install.
With the exact same bios settings my el capitain install runs fine so I am guessing its not Bios setting related. I have tried recreating the installer, using just one stick of memory, and putting the installer in various USB ports.
Any suggestions would be hugely welcome as I am totally stumped!
Thanks
