I used macOS Catalina 10.15.2 and did not experience any problems resetting CMOS. Then I upgraded to 10.15.4, and after each shutdown or reboot of my hackintosh, I get an error: ​ The system has POSTed in safe mode. This may be due to the previous POST attempt failing because of system instability, or if the power button was held in to force the system off. If the system failed to POST after you made changes to UEFI settings, you may wish to revert to stable settings to prevent POST failure.

Is there any way to fix it? submitted by /u/iDrakus [link] [comments] [► Source]

I hackintoshed my PC, and have my mac on one m.2 ssd, and windows on the other. Whenever I try to access my windows now, the bios freezes. I fixed it before but i had to reset the CMOS on my motherboard. I have a Asrock z270 killer mobo. Anything helps, thanks! submitted by /u/Mercury_Legion [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hi! After performing a successful OpenCore based hackintosh installation on my desktop PC I just can't access my BIOS anymore. After pressing F2/Del I get a frozen black screen and need to force shutdown to exit it. I tried resetting the CMOS, removing the CMOS battery but neither method worked. My Catalina Hackintosh is running very fine, what makes everything even more weird. What can I do to get my BIOS back? Any help will be very appreciated!

Not really sure what's causing this but I don't think it's necessarily an issue with the software side of things (clover, kexts, settings, etc.)About every two to three weeks, my PC will take a long time to even get to the clover boot screen. When I try to boot into the motherboard's BIOS settings, everything in it will be really laggy. It'll take a ~10 seconds for any key presses to register. Once I'm able to boot to the Mac OS, everything is running fine with the exception that bluetooth isn't detected (wifi still works). Boot time isn't affected by this, it's just getting to the point of selecting the MAC os that's an issue as well as bluetooth being disabled. The only solution to I've found is to clear the CMOS, change the BIOS settings to be compatible with MAC (enable XCHI hand-off, disable VT-D, etc.) and then everything runs perfect again (including bluetooth) for a while. I'll know the issue will start happening when my bluet...

I did a dual boot with windows 10 and managed to use clover manager to switch between OSes. After a while, I deleted the Hackintosh but held to clover manager to boot into Windows. I had to change the CMOS battery and thermal paste last week. After that, the laptop won't boot into Windows. The usual clover UI doesn't appear on boot. Instead greeted with "Operating system not found" message. And also I can't enter to Bios setup. I think it enters into Bios setup page but all I can see is a grey/black screen. I verified with live Linux USB that my SSD is healthy and can access the drives. Is there a way to fix the boot? Laptop - Dell XPS L502X.

I wanted to play some newer games on my HTPC hackintosh but I had an MSI RX 480 4GB that was aging and wanted to upgrade to a 5700 XT. Bought the Gigabyte Gaming OC 8GB version.

Recently my motherboard died and I ended up buying a new (exactly same) motherboard and ever since, my hackintosh has been acting up. All the problems point to the hackintosh because every time I unplug the drive and use only keep the windows drive, the bios keeps its memory and windows works fine. Whenever I plug in the hackintosh drive and try to boot to it, the boot is slower and the bios gets wiped every time I shut down from macOS. I’ve already replaced the cmos battery and psu. But the problem persists. Any fixes? i7 4790 Gigabyte H97m-D3H RX 470(d) and Intel HD 4600 (running dual monitor setup) submitted by /u/microtruong [link] [comments] [► Source]

I cant install macOS anymore! I have 2 different videos here and here . Which both restart right before it finishes and I've used the same USB when I installed macOS for the 1st time with no issues. Used the vanilla guide then tried the internet recovery install. I’ve tried using different hard drives, resetting the NVRAM, UEFI settings, and clearing the CMOS submitted by /u/gKdizzy [link] [comments] [► Source]

Hi, I'm a bit confused as to how I'm supposed to go about using VirtualSMC. I previously assumed it was simple as putting in the kext and forgetting about it, but now, being towards the latter-end of my hackintosh I started focusing on my startup logs and other minor issues. Most notably, I noticed I have rtc read failures on every boot. Using the rtcread tool provided by VSMC, I receive, "AppleRTC I/O failure E00002C1". ​ Additionally, my battery percentage is very inconsistent (seems that every boot the capacity changes and the percentage in my menubar never matches that of other battery info softwares such as coconutbattery) ​ And I think this likely is a result of RTC/CMOS and/or an improperly configured VirtualSMC kext. After reading through the documentation on the github repo for VirtualSMC, I see that there is a bunch of various options for keys to be inputted somewhere somehow. Although I can't seem to find any detailed/straightforward guides that go...

I'm experiencing some strange boot behaviour since a few days. (Unfortunately I dont know what caused this as I'm always keeping kexts etc. up to date.) Before I get to the clover boot menu I have to press any key. Otherwise it will just stay there with a back square box overlaid to the BIOS boot screen. I already cleared CMOS but it did not change anything. If I put in a separate SSD with a Windows boot loader the "error" is gone so I'm quite sure it's a clover thing. Something else but I don't know if it's connected to that issue: 50% of the time I can't get to the FileVault password prompt. It just stays at the apple logo.

Hi guys. After replacing my graphic card yesterday and installed again Mojave I was working so fast and so stable....until I shutdown and changed the position of the tower. Then my hackintosh start to show the common error couldn't allocate runtime area I have read all the guides and solution, and in my case the only have worked is to reset CMOS and setup again my bios and works! I will share it because maybe someone could be tired or do not have time to do all steps for the slide=0 or whatever... submitted by /u/IndieFist [link] [comments] [► Source]

Motherboard Model: GA-Z170X-UD5 TH CPU: Intel i7 6770 4.00 GHz GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB GAMING Install Method: Unibeast (back in 2016, using TonyMacx86's guide) ​ After 3 years of a stable build (Sierra), I finally got the courage to dive in to install Windows 10 on a separate internal 250GB SSD so that I could get Thunderbolt working. I had to flash the BIOS to the latest firmware (F22g) to install the Thunderbolt driver. I succeeded in doing this, installed the Thunderbolt driver, and tested it on both my Windows 10 install and my Sierra install. It worked! :-) But then I hit a snag :-( ... my Nvidia web driver refused to turn on. I had to stop there as I was traveling for work. Now, keep in mind I had all my drives plugged in again and was able to choose which drive to boot from in Clover. Both Windows 10 and MacOS Sierra were working. I come home 2 weeks later and turn on the machine to see if I could figure out this Nvidia issue and suddenly, my machine can only ...
