Try with only 1 RAM stick. We know the ram is ok, so we can test each memory slot on the Quo board...

For each slot see if you can invoke the backup BIOS .. While PC is on, turn off power via AC main switch on PSU, wait 1minute .. now press and hold the ATX power switch then switch the PSU back on while still holding ATX power switch in.

 

If does not work ... the last time it was working was with the Sapphire 5870 Vapor-X  ?

Put that back in , rinse and repeat 

 

The little speaker that beeps at boot is pretty fragile, mine gave out once .. maybe try it in our other build to make sure it is still working ...means it would beep but we don't hear nothing

 

If that does not work, I'm out of ideas for now...could be dead mobo or dead cpu.

IronMan,

 

I am a good soldier and I try all your idea ;-)

But from tomorrow and for one week, I will be out for holidays :-)

 

I try one by one all the RAM slot, nothing more.

 

I test the buzzer on the other MB, beep.

 

On the QUO, without RAM, no more beep.

 

Not the Power supply, 2 different.

Not RAM, test on another computer.

Not the buzzer :-) test on another computer.

Not the screen :-) work with the other computer AND tell 2 times when I start the Quo Board no video signal

 

I need to test the CPU on the other MB

 

What else ?

Time for coffee ? Too late in France, but tomorrow time for holiday : YES.

 

I give you the end of the story when I test the CPU on the other board.

 

Tks a lot.

 

Friendly.

To invoke dual bios recovery primary solution is that you press continuously reset buton then the power button and after system restarts itself at the second time you keep only reset button pressed. That should trigger the recovery process.

Hi guys I am having problem with my HD5770 :

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] [1002:68b8] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc. Device [1682:2990]
I don't know what is wrong but I can't boot with the ATI card only with the internal Intel HD Graphics 4000. I tried different commands for the ati card in the NVRAM changing subsystem enabling ATI injection (which should be enabled by default) I am running 10.11.6 (15G31). Every time i boot with the ATI it hangs on the Apple logo screen. I tried booting in verbose mode but it goes out of it on the apple logo and it hangs there, so I can't figure out what is the culprit. I even modified the bios of the video card with efi rom, but still no luck. Please find the darwin dumper log:

Hey guys. Couple questions. First one should be easy. I lost sound after the 10.11.5 update. Now I've tried installing the latest VoodooHDA to L/E but it isn't working. It says it's loaded but I'm not getting anything but HDMI out in sound preferences. Does it need to be in S/L/E or do I just need the VoodooHDA preference pane? I installed it manually because the kext installers I've tried still install to S/L/E so I may have done it wrong. I also moved AppleHDADisabler to /L/E.  Also, if it's relevant, Kext Utility always times out on the last step "Updating the system cache files."

 

Second, I think I saw a couple QUO guys have Sierra installed. I seem to be hitting that initial snag with getting the installer to boot. It stalls right before the GUI loads. The Sierra threads are pretty much all Clover users. Anything I need to do on the QUO to get Sierra up and running?

 

Thanks guys

Sound .. First clean up the soup you made. Nothing should be required it should come straight from the BIOS if you have XMAS.

No AppleHDADisabler, no VoodooHDA in /s/l/e/ or /l/e. Delete all that junk and then

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
And restart

 

Sierra .. Kext injection from BIOS broken. You have to manually load FakeSMC to get the installer going and of course use a SysDef that supports macOS Sierra. You can do this by starting in single user mode or you could load it into the installer image .. . I was about to test that solution and write up a guide by I got side-tracked by the 'lost USB ports' issue. I modded the disk image on the Sierra Recovery HD to include FakeSMC and it works beautifully.

FYI I installed macOS Sierra on its own partition without touching Clover .. Yes it can be done.

Still no sound. I removed both kexts and made sure neither was in either directory, the ran sudo touch. Without the VoodooHDA kext I don't even have HDMI outputs showing in sound preferences. There's just no outputs at all. Probably messed something else up. Might just have to do a clean install once I can get Sierra running. I'm using sysdef iMac13,2 so should be good there. I can try either one of those solutions. Where should I load FakeSMC in the installer image? If you're working on a tutorial I can wait for that.

When you say HDMI , are you referring to HDMI connector on your GTX 690 or HDMI connector on the motherboard ?

Also check that you don't leftoovers from the kext you installed. .. Like preferences that would override what is provided in BIOS

 

Edit : I don't see any audio for my GTX970 connected thru display port. I am using USB Audio so it is no biggie for me.

It might be the webdrivers that are the cause of this ...

When I had VoodooHDA installed, under sound preferences on the output tab, it showed 3 HDMI-out devices. Now it's blank. I removed the Voodoo prefpane as well but still no sound. I have my speakers plugged in with a standard audio jack. HDMI shouldn't even matter. It's odd. System Profiler shows 3 line outputs, 2 mic inputs, and S/PDIF, but sound prefs shows nothing.

 

Well, I've got nothing over the audio jack, but it occurred to me to try bluetooth (these are bluetooth soundsticks), and that at least gets me sound, so I can use that for the time being. I'll probably do a clean install once an OZ update is released for Sierra and see where I am after that.

Interesting ... I'll have to check mine see what it shows in System Profiler and IOReg... Would do it now but like a stupid noob i remotely started an upgrade on my NAS that acts as a VPN server.. Seems it never really got back up .. So I am locked out for now...

Starting 'Audio issue' investigation ... Curious my on-board audio was listed up until I disabled Nvidia Injection (i think) to be able to use DisplayPort... Now there is nothing in Sound Prefs except for my USB Audio. Sierra PB6 ...

But in System Profiler the motherboard audio is there and the GTX 970 HDMI/DisplayPort is clearly marked as being connected to 'Display'

Some digging required....

What i find interesting it that the above snapshot comes from Sierra Beta and kext injection into the kernel does not even work there ... so it is either detected as Audio by AppleHDA.kext or straight from the ACPI tables...

Digging ...on Sierra PB6 (so if i f*** something I can still go back to my working El cap partition)

 

AppleHDA.kext                             Loaded : Yes

AppleHDAcontroller.kext              Loaded : Yes

AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver Loaded : No    --> Expected since Apple does not have ALC892, so no IOKit Personnality matches (assumption made by me)

 

 

Big Edit : My ALC audio is listed in Sound Preferences on 10.11.5 ... nvram corruption maybe made it it disappear ?

El Capitan don't need to install anything for audio, it uses voodooHDA from bios for onboard audio, if you are using a discreet card you need to disable it and use the AppleHDA (see this post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/285920-new-os-x-compatible-motherboard-quo/?p=2061714),on macOS Sierra you can use the patch to enable the AppleHDA or you can use VoodooHDA. If you want an easy way to install Sierra you can use this to make the usb installation: Clover_v2.3k_Special Edition-v3 ( look for it on the forums ) and after installation copy FakeSMC to ~L/E and touch it.

@IntelliMac can you run this in Terminal and paste output if any 

ioreg -p IODeviceTree | grep -e PEG -e POP -e NPE -e BR3A

Sure thing here you go:

 

| +-o PEG0@1  <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001a0, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (22018 ms), retain 13>

    | +-o PEG1@1,1  <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001a3, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (47 ms), retain 12>

It was working up until 10.11.4 or 10.11.5, then I lost sound and tried installing it to /L/E. That gave me three HDMI outputs in sound prefs. After removing it all I have nothing showing in sound prefs even though it all shows up in System Profiler. I'm not using a discreet sound card. The only way I get sound is to use bluetooth.

Well, here's an update. Just reinstalled VoodooHDA 2.8.9 and AppleHDADisabler to /L/E and now I've got everything showing in sound prefs. I was just going to do it to show the HDMI outputs that I was getting, but now they're showing with all the line-outs and S/PDIF.

I don't get why you people scratch your back with a hammer...

Specialis Revelio! There is a patched Ozmosis for Sierra kext loading thing since first beta leaked, all user need to do is to replace it in BIOS and flash, that's all and everything will work as before...

 

Evanesco! Now I will disappear for good... ;)

The King, can you please look at my post 2799 http://goo.gl/DqQbMAsee if you can give me a hint how can I approach my problem. I can't boot with my HD5770 video card as it hangs on the apple logo screen. I can boot with the integrated in the CPU intel video card.
