This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.
Prerequisites

Fix Steps

- Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
- Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.
Verification

Original Question:
My Specs
Mobo: Gigabyte Z370 HD3P
CPU : I7 8700k
GPU : Radeon RX 580 Sapphire Pulse
My problem : Dual boot system [Mojave/Win 10 ] boots off a clover USB stick. I planned to add a hard drive and double my ram before starting a new job.
Added the two ram sticks and it wouldn't boot to Mojave. Windows loaded fine and recognized the ram at the proper speed.
I tried to put back the two original sticks in their original slots and now I am getting no output to the monitors. I have no idea what could have happened. I didn't touch anything but the ram. Any ideas how I would troubleshoot this? Everything 'sounds' like it's working normally.
Thanks.
