Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

Hi,

Wish I could get some help here.

After upgrading from 10.11 to 10.12, I met a strange problem.

I installed the latest Nvidia web driver and tried to enable it with the new method, but the driver only loads during the boot right after installation.

That is, every time I have to boot with nv_disable=1, install the web driver, reboot, and this gets the driver loaded, for only once. SIP is disabled so the installation should be no problem.

OS Version: 10.12.1 (16B2555)
Web Driver Version: 367.15.10.15
CPU: Core i7-4970K
Mobo: GA-Z97X-UD3H
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX960 4GB
System Definition: iMac 14,2

Thanks in advance!
 
You have to click the lock on the lower left and unlock the preference pane.
Yeah, I'm not that stupid :D. Still greyed out however

I have never seen that issue before. If you have implemented the proper Web Driver activation in your config.plist it should matter what the preference pane says.

I ran the Web Driver installer and it completed without issues. Previously I got the error message "OS version not supported" or something like that. Hmm, any ideas on what I can do now?

Type this in terminal and post the output: sudo kextstat | grep nv

For 10.11.6 and earlier add nada_drv=1 to your boot arguments in your config.plist and for Sierra follow these steps: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/new-method-for-enabling-nvidia-web-drivers-in-clover.202341/

Then reboot and enter that terminal command again.

Anyone know what settings I have to use for Gigabyte GTX650?

After loading it just go dark and reset...

Alright so I am having trouble solving problem #6. I have done everything the guide says to do and have also updated my plist to include nvda_drv=1. I am on update 10.12 (16A323) using the appropriate NVIDIA Web Driver. Is there something I am missing?

Here's a look at my plist.
