Hi Leesureone,
It never hurts to check my BIOS config again:
- somehow, XMP was Disabled (re-enabling now)
- VMX Enabled
- PEG Auto(i9 9900k IGP only)
- IGPU Multi Monitor Disabled
- RC6 off
- Above 4G Enabled
- DVMT 128M
- XHCI Hand-off Enabled
- Boot order set to Unibeast install key with IGPU EFI folder
- Secure Boot Disabled, keys deleted, key state unloaded, OS type Other OS
- Legacy USB Enabled
- CSM Disabled
- Network Stack Disabled
- Intel Lan Controller Enabled
- Intel Platform Trust Technology Disabled
- SATA Enabled
- SATA Mode Selection AHCI
- Aggressive LPM Disabled
- All SATA ports Enabled
- IOAPIC 24-119 Entries Enabled
- VT-d Disabled
I connect to my display via HDMI.
After re-enabling XMP, trying to install again, it reboots to CBM:
Boot macOS Install from Install macOS Mojave
OR
Boot macOS Install from 300GB
1st option takes me down what seems like a loop of brand new installs that reboot within 1 minute of installation, showing 2 minutes remaining right before reboot. Doesn't matter if I format APFS or HFS+, or if I attempt to continue a new install on top of whatever was pushed to the install disk during the fresh install before it reboots.
2nd option, booting to my SATA 2.5" SSD, takes me to a install screen app called Language Chooser, with a message saying macOS can't be installed , error occurred while loading resources. I restart after this point.
