Same CPU I’ve been using for a year. No problems Linux boots fine, windows operates correctly. Bios shows emt64 support. I guess I’ll try another CPU I have.

It won't work with an iMac14,2 SMBios! Plus, your CLOVER folder is a mess, especially in the /kexts folder!

 

Try this one and report back please :

Hmm…

 

I see no 'DSMOS has arrived' in you verbose screens… Looks like FakeSMC.kext isn't loading for whatever reason. That could explain why you're stuck (not sure the 'Cpu has no EMT64 support' error is the problem :unsure:).

 

You could try this one in CLOVER/kexts/Other : https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-fakesmc-kozlek/downloads/

I did not have it anymore but I had given it to you and if you were probably using it you could easily succeed because I have this Graphics card too in an Optiplex 790

 do not upload the same file every week I'm wondering why not use it

Thinking about upgrading my video card. I though Radeon HD 6450 was OOB in High Sierra? 

 

I see other threads where some are having problems.

 

My Sapphire Radeon HD 5450 cards required nothing extra when upgrading to High Sierra on my Optiplex 790 and 990.

6450 Not a good choice I have testing the Visiontek  and not working  :rolleyes: Not working on all macOS

I have also this one ➤ Gigabyte Geforce GT 710  2 gig working OOB  Inject Nvidia= false  :wink_anim:

The Zotac Geforce GT 1030 work great with Web Drivers  :D

My Sapphire HD 6450 indeed worked OOB on default FB under Sierra. Did not test the card in High Sierra on the 790, so I can't tell if it will or won't work.  On my 755 it did not, however that's most likely because the 755 has no helper card and i did not bother to roll back kexts  :blush:

Hello Friends

I am creating another Hackintosh. One i created few month ago was a huge success and now i am trying to upgrade..

My specs are

 

Sys Specs: DELL OptiPlex 780 (Tower).  Intel Core2Quad QQ400, 8GB DDR3, NVDIA Geforce 210 1GB
Bootloader: Clover latest, Mac OS High Sierra 10.13, 

 

I managed to install Hackintosh . Sound, wake, sleep and shutdown works fine. I have not tested Ethernet yet. 
I am having issues with Graphics Card, it is showing 3MB only. 

I have installed using same Old USB, i created for my last build and i just used Boot flag nv_disable=1 to get it working but Graphics performance is very poor. I have tried installing NVDIA Web drivers but they are not working.

 

Can any body please share some good kexts or resources for NvDIA Geforce 210 (1GB) graphics card.

I also have two other spare graphics card. Nvdia Geforce GF120 and ATI Radeon HD7450 and i can go with those cards as well ..

Hi new problem. I just swapped out the HDD in my Optiplex 780 Hack with a 240 GB SSD. Formatted the SSD as HSF+ Journaled, used CCC to clone the HDD, copied over the entire EFI partition. Powered up, and just got a blinking cursor. Restarted with F12, selected the SSD, but the machine just kind of froze. The SSD remained highlighted, but the arrows would move the highlight cursor any more (though it beeped every time I tried). Any thoughts on what I've done wrong?

You can't just copy the entire EFI partition, you also need to install Clover in Legacy mode (boot0af or boot0ss) on it. Then, you can replace - not merge - the installed CLOVER folder with your own CLOVER folder.

Duh. Feeling pretty stupid right now. I knew that. It's just been awhile. Thanks, I'll update once I've tended to that little detail.
