This guide is one of the most thorough I've used, thank you so much for all your hard work.
After reaching the limit with my last High Sierra build (6K/8K video is a nightmare), I decided that the z390 was the way to go for my next build.
I'm carrying over my MSI GTX 1080 TI, Corsair Obsidian 750D Airflow Edition case, Corsair CX850M PSU, and my data HDDs.
I opted for the i9 9900k for my processor, 64GB of Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, Samsung EVO 970 Pro 512GB SSD, Corsair H115i Pro AIO Cooler. Got the BT/WiFi jumper card from you guide.
Because I'm using Nvidia, I decided to stay in High Sierra. Knew I'd have a few different variables, but figured shouldn't be too tough.
So, after the initial build, reading and re-reading your guide, I dove in to install OS X. Everything seemed to be going fine until it came time to download the Nvidia drivers. I kept getting the dreaded "black screen", reboot, added the nv_disable=1 boot arg, uninstall, rinse, repeat. Still nothing.
At about 1AM last night, I did finally get the drivers to stick, migrated all my apps, even did a little stress test in Adobe Premiere. Went to bed feeling accomplished. Woke up this morning to start my editing session only to find the "black screen" had returned.
Then I took a dive into the the many (474 of this writing) pages of replies hoping someone else was having similar issues, searched other posts on here and on other forums, but none of the fixes seem to work.
Casey, would love if you could give me any insight!
