Mojonater Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3542 CPU: Intel Core i5 4210U @ 1.7 GHz RAM: 8Gb DDR3L 1600MHz Storage: 1Tb HDD Graphics: Intel 4400HD Trying to Install Mac OS Sierra I'm trying to install Sierra on my laptop, everything seems to work fine when I boot into the USB, but when I tried to install the first time, the Apple logo came up, and the bar got a little past halfway and then the screen just turns off but I can here the computer running still. So I tried a second time, but added "-v" to turn on verbose mode, and have included a screenshot of the last things that are displayed right before the screen shuts off: I also have attached my config.plist in a .txt file because it won't allow me to attach a .plist file. Any help is greatly appreciated! Also I tried using safe mode and it got to the same line seen in the pic above and then the screen shut off. config.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted October 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2017 so you can boot fine from usb but can't boot correctly from HDD? if so you have to transfer your boot files to the HDD. to attach file you have to zip them first.

Mojonater Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 No this is when I'm booting from the USB, I get stuck here and have not been able to even get to the installation screen to install to my HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojonater Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 idk if this will help but I am using a config.plist from a forum I found where a guy successfully installed Mac OS Sierra on the same laptop as me, but with an intel core i3 with 4400HD graphics (same as mine) AND an NVIDIA graphics card although he said the NVIDIA graphics card doesn't work. Also he's using an older bios version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted October 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted October 30, 2017 have you tried disabling graphics in the bios and retrying then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 30, 2017 Moderators Share Posted October 30, 2017 Try replacing your boot files with mine here, under Inspiron / Sierra 3542_A12. Just replace the file/folder to /EFI/Clover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
