Open Core Boot Freeze

[GP91]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to install High Sierra using OpenCore 0.5.7 (using mainly this guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Desktop-Guide/config.plist/haswell.html), but I'm running into a problem: After the picker appears, it immediately freezes. At first I thought this was a keyboard issue, but it doesn't seem to auto pick after a while (And it does that on another computer), so I'm carefully guessing it's just stuck.

Some background info:

1. Specs: GA-B85M-D3, Intel I7-4790, Nvidia GTX 1050Ti, 16GB ram, SanDisk SD6SB1 256GB

2. EFI folder structure: https://reddit-uploaded-media.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com/images%2Ft2_9hlwi8k%2Fpej1xn3iogu41 (OpenUsbKbDxe.efi is not present in config.plist and was later removed from the folder)

3. config.plist: Attached and: https://pastebin.com/GHmRc9zn

4. BIOS settings set as recommended in the guide

What I've tried:

1. Changing USB ports, keyboards and trying various different USB related settings in config.plist (Back when I thought was keyboard issue).

2. Playing with OpenUsbKbDxe.efi, PollAppleHotKeys, KeySupport

3. Resetting the BIOS, trying various options (Fast boot, CSM, all sorts of USB settings, honestly tried fliiping basically every switch and setting in the BIOS, in addition to using the defaults).

4. Searched google for solutions, not a lot came up and nothing worked.

5. Reinstalled OpenCore, made sure all the files came from the same version

6. Changed CFG-Lock related options in config.plist (No CFG-Lock setting in my BIOS)

7. Other than that, I've changed many many config.plist options to no avail

8. Connecting the monitor to the iGFX (Ran out of ideas).

Nothing worked - It still freezes when using the picker and at this point, I gave up.

I would really appreciate any tip or idea and I will be happy to provide any additional information you may require.

Thank you very much,

GP91
