If you have problems with your used methods , please ask on the developers platform or the delevelopers themselves. This methods are not supported here.

Did you manage to install hackintosh successfully on this laptop, I have the same laptop and it always boot into black screen with cpu fan loudly as well when it turn into dark screen, it seems this is the common problem for this model.
