  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

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

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hello,

i made an OpenCore USB Stick for my Ryzen Desktop. It boots a while and i see verbose text, until at some point the screen goes black. I checked the other HDMI ports, and it flashes white briefly before it also goes black. Since the screen get's black, i do not know where the problem resides. I followed the guide on Dortania several times and double checked Bios settings. I also tried with Catalina recovery, same behaviour.

A week earlier i made an USB stick for my Intel Probox23 without any problem.To not confuse things i made 2 separate sticks from the ground up.

My specs:

Gigabyte B550MRyzen 3800X16GB RAMVega64
