Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

[Loreno10]

I've got an issue with graphics, maybe someone knows a solution.
So, my specs:
OS X 10.11.6 (Clover UEFI)
MSI B85-G43
i5 4590 (Haswell)
8GB (4*2GB) RAM DDR3 1333 MHz
GeForce GTX 960 2GB
HDD 500GB

I installed nvidia web drivers (346.03.15f02). The problem is, my PC not always boots successfully to the desktop. During booting of OS X I see verbose information stuff, then the screen always goes black, and then:
a) sometimes progress bar normally appears, fills up and system boots as it should
b) sometimes computer restarts

So, sometimes it's a), sometimes it's b). I have no idea why one time it works perfectly and another time it does not. I have to say, that sometimes computer restarts, for example, 3 times until it finally boots fine.

If I put nv_disable flag it always boots fine. i don't have any nvidia injection in clover. I have nvda_drv=1. In verbose mode there isn't anything suspicious before the restart. I tried different driver (346.03.15f01), but this one caused restarts every time I tried to boot.
Here's the report that I get when computer boots after restart: http://pastebin.com/EqypyK6Z

I'd be very grateful, if anyone tried to help.

Hello,

Just to share our experience :

We've build our first hackintosh yesterday with my brother. We've done everything following the installation guide of tonymacx86 and it went almost fine! Thx a lot for the excellent work!
We had 3 issues yesterday (graphic card, audio, sleep mode), now we only have 2, thx to this forum!

The issue with the graphic card was -> PROBLEM 6 <-
Also when looking at About this Mac we could see the graphic card but 0 VRAM... -> GTX 980 Ti...

The first time we tried solving it we used the Install clover application but had a Kernel pannic when trying to reboot...
Then we tried editing the config.plist file using clover editor but then we had a black screen when trying to reboot...

The problem was (I think) i ticked Inject nvidia when I made the USB Key with Unibeast... SO we made a new one and then edit the config.plist simply by adding <string>dart=0 nvda_drv=1</string> under arguments using TextEdit.

I struggle with the same problem.
You changed the config.plist in clover-folders?
So I do not know exactly where I need to add something.

I would appreciate it if you could perhaps put your file available.

Thanks!

Sorry I can't... As I said, I did this build for my brother and now he has left with his computer...
But I can easily explain what to do :

1st : Be sure you havent ticked "Inject nVidia" in Unibeast when you created the USB key to install El capitan. If not sure, I suggest you create a new one and re-install.

2 : After a clean install, use Multi beast and use iMac 14,2 profile.

3 : Update El Capitan -> 10.11.6 (reboot)

4 : Install nVidia web driver (reboot)

5 : Mount the EFI partition (using EFI Mounter v3) then open /EFI/CLOVER/config.plist using TextEdit. cmd-F and type "arg" -> you should find Arguments and it should look like
<key>Arguments</key>
<string>dart=0</string>

In my case it looked like that.
I just add
<key>Arguments</key>
<string>dart=0 nvda_drv=1</string>


And it worked

hi everyone! My graphics card just died on me while my mac is on Mountain Lion and I can't seem to find a solution to update the graphic card driver. I am now using a MSI GTX 950. Is there a way to update the drivers on Mountain Lion? I also wish to update to the latest OS. Is there a way to update it without wiping my drive of all data?
