Hi friends, about 2 months ago i tried to do my first hackintosh, but i didn't was able to boot the osx, once i went to the bios and saved, when i restarted the pc, my mobo didn't show any video. So i assumed it got broken.

 

The warranty covered it after a month, and I tried hackintosh again, i was able to boot and start installation, the pc restarted and boot(I dont know if it's normal), with Windows repair boot, but that's not a problem at all, just hd messed... I restarted to try boot the USB again and then, the mobo didn't show any video, but turns on the coolers and everything.

 

In fact I ordered motherboard (Asus H61m at this time) because I heard that my gigabyte usually get this problem. I tried some steps trying to finally expect my mobo to work(I’ve already bought a new one if it break) like clear cmos, In fact it worked only when I removed the mobo battery and boot without it,I was able to update my bios and even enter on Windows. But some time later it stopped work again,for some reason SOMETIMES it turns on and about some minutes in black screen,it goes to bios screen.

 

 

Well,i guess this mobo RIP …

 

 

But I really want to do Hackintosh,I’m a software engineer and OSX is really smooth and I want it as development environment. But im REALLY afraid to brick my third mobo lol.

 

 

I really like idea to doesn’t change boot records, and when need to boot to OSX use a usb drive to boot properly,sound really a good idea for me, once I use 2 Sata HDS(one for windows and another for hackintosh).

 

 

But as I said,I’m afraid to brick it again, there’s a way to install osx in HD without change this UEFI options? The usb recognizes the OSX in HD,it can’t boot,but I’m thinking theres some bootflag problems.

 

Can you guys can help me, if there's anything i can do? Is this something wrong with my hackintosh?

 

Sorry my bad English and sorry if i posted in wrong place. 

 

Can you guys help me?

Only if you use the wrong configurations in the BIOS, my advice is to find someone  in the numerous forums with the same Motherboard and see what settings they used. There are many tutorials online on what requirements are needed to install and run os x. Good luck.

I actually did this , but doesn't the Clover change something in the MotherBoard configs?

 

Thank you  :)

the fact is, that the installation of os x, can not make any cause of hardware damage. that would be the first time that I hear. I think that, this is lack of knowledge. You need someone who explains you the basics so that the installation is working properly. What is your local language?

I speak portuguese, back in time i used to dual boot Windows with Linux and i never had this kind of problem. It sounds REALLY strange to me, once i always follow step-by-step . I’m afraid to broke my new motherboard

 

Thank you  :)

hi...

 

I have 3 of those ga h61 s1, i3,i52500k, gt210..running 10.11.5... basically only AHCI mode..ok..

I used the @chris1111 pkg 'cause is more strait ahead....( I used legacy way)..but you should know what occurs during the install...

only add as I see are kext at proper folder...other are at config..

but another .pkg very useful is Pandora's...and Pavo's.."usb...correct way"

i'll suggest when install ,disconnect the windows HDD..

visite o forum em português como o allan postou... :)

c.frio
