el capitan

Greetings.. so, I'm a bit new to hackintosh.. and recently I've installed El Capitan 10.11.1 on my PC. I've followed the instruction on this site, everything went smoothly until Multibeast (UEFI, ALC887, Rea8111, and the default kext(forgot its name)), I read about the alternate Nvidia driver...

I am running El Capitan on a GA-Z170X and I am unable to run separate displays on my monitors. I have a dual monitor setup, (Asus 22" and an LG 21.5") the Asus is running to the hdmi port on the motherboard and the LG is running to the DV-I port on the motherboard. The displays are mirrored and...

Hey all, I recently just finished my first ever Hackintosh build and am extremely happy with it apart from one major issue.. The specs: Intel Core Skylake Processor i5-6500 Gigabyte H170N-WI-FI Motherboard Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16 GB Kit (8 GB x 2) DDR4 2400 Corsair 550W CS550M...

Hello all - I previously hid all my recovery partitions in Clover (El Capitan 10.11.5 I think) because it was cluttered and I wanted the boot screen to be cleaner. Now I'm dealing with an issue out of nowhere that is keeping me from booting (incorrect number of thread counts; invalid volume...

Hi Guys! This is my first post here, I hope that I put it in right category. I've just started to play with Hackintoshing. I followed some tutorials and guides and set this that way: First system: Mac Os X 10.11 El Capitan Second system: Windows 10 Pro Third system: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS About my...

Hey so I have a hackintosh I built, and I got OS X El Capitan installed. It's on an Asus x99-a ii motherboard with a i7 5820k processor. USB 2.0 ports work just fine, But the USB 3.0 ports don't work. There are a couple settings for xhci in the bios, but none of them work. I've also tried...

So I've been using two 7970 gpus in my setup and have been wanting to ditch them for a single Nvidia gtx 980 ti. I was under the impression they perform better, especially for a hackintosh. I've been researching Web drivers and I'm confused. I don't see any on Nvidia's website specific for the...

Today I installed a GTX 980 ti into my hack rig. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.5 and clover. After installing the card I installed the web drivers associated with the OS build. Since then booting up has been very erratic. Sometimes I can boot into my system, sometimes I get a kernel panic...

Hi guys this is my second attempt to finish my build, this time with El Capitan (I found out the hard way that I can't instal Mavericks with my hardware) , everything went fine until I installed the Nvidia Graphics Card drivers for my GTX 970 I was following this method precisely...

So I recently updated to the latest Security Update and everything went by smoothly. Since the whole Intel 530 sleep bug is still a thing I always shut down my Hackintosh at the end of the day. I was able to boot fine a few times but all of the sudden I am getting stuck at the Apple Logo and...

Hi, I attempted to run a security upgrade, El Capitan, as well as a Safari upgrade, from the App Store. When rebooting, it stalled for a long time on the dark screen with the Apple + Progress bar. I eventually pressed Reset. It led to issues of course, and I eventually figured to run a...

My first build, loving it. :) When in OSX, my RAM in underreported. I have 2 X 8G but OSX believes I have 2 X 4G. The speed of it is wrong as well. When I look in the BIOS the memory seen is ok. How best to start debugging this? I'm using Clover.

Hi guys, so I have no experience whatsoever in hackintosh and... I think I might have done something really dumb. at first, everything was working great with El Capitan and Multibeast, but my sound kext stoped working so I Installed a new one and my computer went crazy... I restarted it in safe...

I'm new to hackintosh setup. I have tried one two years ago and failed it. I'm now trying to give one last attempt before selling my PC. I'm starting this thread since the links in the old threads are not working and are also not updated for EL capitan OS. My SPECS : Mobo: ASrock z77 pro 4...

Hello, everyone. I've updated BIOS for my Asus Z170-A and now El Capitan is not booting. It was working and booting fine just before the update. I think the last message is 'waiting for root device' just before the screen gets messed up. Any ideas?

Hello all, First off, I hope I'm posting in the correct section. If a moderator moves me, that would be helpful. Thank you tonymacx86 and moderators for the wonderful forum. Okay, so I'm on Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and I'm looking to upgrade (to El Capitan) via bootable USB. But I'm...

So I just installed OS X El Capitan on my first ever Hackintosh, after long fiddling around that finally works. I also have Windows 10 installed on a separate partition. I did as instructed here somewhere else the following: - Go to EFI/Microsoft/Boot/ and rename bootmgfw.efi to...

I already have a working El Capitan installation, and tried to update to Sierra today. I downloaded the latest version of Clover and copied over my essential kexts. But when I tried to install Sierra from the App Store, it said it couldn't be installed on my Mac. I assumed this was to do with my...
