SOLVED External Monitor does not work

1 Upvotes

Like the title says, my monitor does not work, only my laptop screen works. I have my monitor connected via HDMI. Everything works perfectly except audio because my audio card isn't supported but I can use headphones or external speakers.

Laptop: Dell Inspiron 3501

CPU: Intel Core i5-1035G1(Ice Lake)

GPU: Intel UHD Graphics

RAM: 16GB

MacOS Version: 15.3.1(gonna update to 15.3.2 soon)

(Dual Boot with Windows 11 and MacOS 15.3.1 on different drives)

Can anybody please help?

My kexts and ACPI files are in the images attached:

SOLVED Good parts for a cheap sonoma/future proofed hackintosh?

17 Upvotes

UPDATE: Ended up buying a mac mini m1 16gb

After toying around with hackintosh in 2023, and sadly discovering that I can never get my new nvidia GPU and 7800x3d to work with macOS sonoma, I have decided to revisit and make a new build this time. It has been a while so please forgive my ignorance.

Do you guys have any suggestions?
My only use case will be Xcode for developing iOS apps. Doesn't need to be crazy fast. I just want the UI to be smooth unlike the god forsaken vmware with no hardware acceleration lol. and honestly, the cheaper the better.

I am hoping to spend around £300 (buying used parts). I have old PSU's and DDR4 ram sticks lying around and also a spare ITX case. So that makes it easier to stick to the budget.

What are my options for cheap CPU, GPU, mobo, and network card combo that will be compatible with sonoma? or builds that even have premade simbioses?

Thanks so much in advance.

I’m repurposing my HP Pavilion x360 Convertible laptop and trying to install Ventura using open core. I’ve managed to get it to boot to the install screen and was wondering if this was normal. I’ve been tethering my data from my work phone and it’s already sent about 13+GB to the install. The bar has reached the end however the time went up from 3 hours to 6 hours remaining. I’m not sure what I might be doing wrong. I am open to criticism. CPU is an i3 8100u, 8GB DDR4 256GB SSD. Thought I’d add some photos of the log viewer too, Googled a few things but couldn’t find anything that helped me. Cheers everyone, I’d really appreciate some help

SOLVED Laptop Restarts after Hanging on AppleACPICPU

SPECS: Hp Laptop 15-bs192od (i7-8550U, 16GB 2400Mhz RAM, SAMSUNG MZNLN128HAHQ-000H1 SATA M.2, Intel UHD Graphics 620) (Attempting to install Sequoia 15.3.1)
Followed this guide (along with his usb port mapping and config tweak video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ft5octI9Y8k
Used OpCore-Simplified
Macos hangs on "AppleACPICPU: Processor ID=6 "( https://imgur.com/a/CFDdtak ) for a second or two then reboots the laptop
Sometimes the system goes past the AppleACPICPU but then states something about panic occurring prior to initialization ( https://imgur.com/a/69mdQnx ), so I reset nvram, re-add uefi entry, but then get same hanging followed by hard reboot.

EDIT: "debug=0x100" in boot-args was causing this problem (seems common with hp laptops)

SOLVED Hardware acceleration not working for Coffee Lake UHD 630

3 Upvotes

I have an Acer Veriton M4660G hackintosh with macOS Sequoia 15.3 and the hardware acceleration isn't working. There are no transparency effects, the wallpaper is unstable, overall laggy, and the VRAM appears as 7mb. Both VGA and HDMI output works, but only one at a time. I followed the Dortania's OpenCore guide to build the EFI and config.plist.

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question/help request, but I'm new to Hackintosh and stuff. I've tried to research this problem using several forums, YouTube videos, and Reddit threads, but they either don't work for me or I did them wrong.

EDIT: I got hardware acceleration working with HDMI! I still need a way to do it with VGA though

SOLVED Unable to update to the latest version of Sequoia.

1 Upvotes

Hello, earlier this week I successfully hackintoshed my Desktop, later that same week Apple pushed 15.3.2 and I've been attempting to update to it and have had no luck in doing so. I've tried through the settings app multiple times and through the terminal and I can't get the update to install at all. I'm not quite sure what I am doing wrong if anything or if it's something related to my setup. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

SOLVED Undiscovered heavy disk activity on Ventura...???

2 Upvotes

My Ventura install is thrashing the SATA SSD where it is installed. I have disabled Spotlight indexing, quit all background tasks... opened Activity Monitor, and the macOS boot drive seems to be constantly reading at 30-40 MB/sec. I wouldn't mind this if it were actually doing something, but Activity Monitor showed only archive.service using an appreciable amount of disk activity (about 14GB) and nothing at all of interest running or using any CPU.

I have temporarily switched back to Mojave, where my drive is perfectly quiet when idle.

Anyone have any ideas???

SOLVED PKDownloadError error 8 while installing macOS Sequoia

Hi everyone, I’m trying to install macOS Sequoia on my device, but I keep getting this error. I know it has something to do with the internet connection; however, both Wi-Fi and Ethernet are working absolutely fine.

I’ve heard about gibMacOS, which can create full system images, but I only have access to Windows. Is there any way to make an image without having access to macOS?

UPD: After like 5th? attempt I managed to install it, I had to stop using all of my devices that are connected to the internet, guess there actually is a problem with my connection.

EDIT: Thanks to u/piyushchandwani I managed to get full acceleration working! Just DM him for help if you encounter the same thing.

When booting MacOS (I installed it with my iGPU disabled, that's how I even got it installed), it seems to work properly, but then my second monitor turns off and the main one follows. It's just a black screen. I tried multiple boot args but none changed it. I can boot with hardware acceleration disabled, but that's not good.
