also i think skylake uses ARTfrequency vectors for controlling bus speeds clover also has an option for that

UseARTFrequency

    <key>CPU</key>
    <dict>
        <key>UseARTFrequency</key>
        <false/>

in your case it might need

still getting memory related instant restart with Clover v3949
UseArtFrequency is true
Please see my attached photo of memory stick and config.plist - did I add memory info correctly?

 

I was thinking of upgrading RAM to 16gb anyway, maybe that would clear the error?

thanks for the continued support

I disconnected my DW1560 wireless card and stopped the memory reboot error. I'm hoping to complete the post-install tomorrow, will update then.

Any idea on why the wifi card would cause a memory error? And how should I go about getting the wifi card working? thanks

Looking at your Config file, it has all the patch to work. Just need to install the following kexts as well which are in my E7x70 bootpack.

Place them in /Library/Extension and run the permission fix and repair cache

I think my E5470 might be defective. After resetting the BIOS I can get past the OSXAPTIO memory errors. Very weird. I need to contact Dell and see about a replacement.

[Bronxteck]

if you have upgraded or downgraded the bios recently your supposed to reset it to defaults normally. then you save changes reboot and set your own configs.

I upgraded BIOS a couple weeks ago and reset after I did. Using proper settings I'll get the memory error, after resetting BIOS and exact same settings the error is gone. Very weird...

so I'm able to finish the post install but now get a KP when booting, see attached-
