qrzx Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi insanelymac friends! I had a near-perfect build with El Cap, but after I decided to update to Sierra some problems came up. Specs: i7-6700k ASUS Z170-E mobo EVGA GTX 960 And here's my config.plist With iMac17,1 SMBIOS, my display sleeps on boot. I can boot okay with nv_disable=1. I have done the AGDP patch (AGDPfix.app by shilohh). I should also note, I have two monitors connected to my GPU, one with DVI, one on DisplayPort. If I only plug in the DVI monitor and use an iMac14,2 SMBIOS, I can boot okay with NVIDIA drivers. But this doesn't work if the DP monitor is plugged in. Also, I've set BIOS graphics to PCI-E, and the new NvidiaWeb thing is set in Clover. Any suggestions are welcome!!! Thanks!
