Please specify full system specs and attach your clover folder

You can try adding these boot arg to determine where it hang

-v debug=0x100

[Hervé]

And no distros of course...

Thanks for reply infact I'm using Dell optiplex 3040, Pentium G4400, 8gig ram no graphic card

[Hervé]

Skylake HD510 is unsupported. You'll need either a different CPU with a supported iGPU or a compatible add-on graphics card.

[Eggzin]

so what version of Mac so will suit me

[Hervé]

None with your current hardware.

Here the clover folder n a photo where it. stuck.... I try to poof the CPU as they mentioned which is FakeCPUID to 0x0306A0 and put all. required texts but no lucky

You're never going to get anywhere with such a Clover config. You can't just select all ACPI fixes and expect things to work. Undo all that and only select those fixes that may be needed like FixRegions, FixHeader, Halt Enabler.

 

As for graphics, I believe Clover Configurator explains things pretty clearly:

 

As far as I knew, Intel HD510 was unsupported but, according to old discussions from 2017 with Rehabman that I found after a quick search, support would have been added in macOS Sierra at some point. Indeed, looking at the SKL framebuffer kexts of High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina, I see that the list of supported devices does include 0x19028086.

            <key>IOMatchCategory</key>
            <string>IOFramebuffer</string>
            <key>IOPCIClassMatch</key>
            <string>0x03000000&0xff000000</string>

            <string>0x19168086 0x191E8086 0x19268086 0x19278086 0x19128086 0x19328086 0x19028086 0x19178086 0x193B8086 0x191B8086</string>
            <key>IOProbeScore</key>
            <integer>80005</integer>
            <key>IOProviderClass</key>
            <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
            <key>IOSourceVersion</key>
            <string>0.0.0.0.0</string>
            <key>PMTControl</key>
            <dict>
                <key>DisplayEngineCounting</key>
                <integer>0</integer>
            </dict>

 

So, remove that GPU id faking you've inserted in your Clover config. No guarantee it'll work though, I see plenty people reported lots of graphics glitches/defects for HD510.
