tilopa Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 System - LaptopAsus Q551LN-BBI706i7 4510u 2.00GHZNvidia 840m + Intel HD 44008 GB mem500GB ssd driveI'm at my wits end, and getting ready to throw in the towel, as I'm not even getting far enough to get an error message. But thought I would post for help first.During a USB install at about a minute or so of loading files, the system just reboots. It does not hang in the loading of files, it just reboots in the middle of reading lines of files, and the lines are going by too fast for me to read were it does this. Things that I've done.Using a 10.10.3 installation file downloaded from the Apple Store.Tried several different guides using Clover, qclover, Chimera, and Chameleon. Flags tried: -x, GraphicsEnabler=No (and Yes), PCIRootUID=1,npci=0x2000, etc. The biggest clue I have of what could be happening is that when I run the install USB on my other laptop (the one I'm replacing with the one listed at the top), it boots to the install GUI no problem. Both laptops are similar, the one that works is:Asus Q500Ai5 3230MIntel HD 4000 integrated (only)Not sure if the Chipset is different from the other laptop.But 2 aspects that are different are the i7 4510u and the Nvidia 840m. I found a website that lists all mac processors used and the i7 4510u has not been used yet in any mac, but the i5 3230M has. Could it be that Yosemite does not support my processor?Also, is there any way to disable the nvidia 840m? There is nothing in the bios/UEFI to let me do this. Thanks.

blazinsmokey Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Quick search and I found that you will probably have to disable nvidia through dsdt. Saw a couple posts from Rehabman over at another site, processor should be fine. Google disable 840m hackintosh, you should find it pretty quickly.
