Black screen appears during SSD boot but functions properly with USB connection
Dear Sir/Madam, The issue you're facing involves running macOS High Sierra 10.13 on your PC with an i7 8700K and GTX 1080 Ti. You've managed to install it and boot from USB, but switching to a standalone setup causes problems. When the SSD boots, the Clover menu appears, you choose the drive, and after some text appears, the system restarts abruptly without displaying any information. Some suggestions could include checking for file system errors, ensuring proper partitioning, or trying a different boot order. Let me know if you'd like further guidance. Thank you in advance.
I would review and discuss with the tonymac86x forum—they’ll be a much better source. If I recall right, after installing via USB, you need to boot into MacOS from the USB, install the drivers from multibeast, and then you should be able to start without it.
I appreciate the feedback. I've already attempted to install drivers from multibeast, but consistently encounter issues regardless of which drivers I choose or how many I select. Could you offer any advice?
Ensure you're running the installation from integrated graphics until driver updates from NVIDIA are available.
It hasn't been long since I worked on it. It turned out to be never worth the effort for me; I just relied on the Reach Mac next to me.
For long-term use, consider a standard installation instead: https://hackintosh.gitbook.io/-r-hackint...top-guide/. Tonymacx86 often faces criticism for issues like failing to give proper credit. Most experts agree sticking with the vanilla install is better, even though it requires more work. It’s worth the effort for reliability and peace of mind.
