Hello,

Motherboard: GIGABYTE A520M-K https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/A520M-K-rev-10#kf

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4600G

Graphics card: Integrated

RAM: KINGSTON Fury Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL17 - KF436C17BBK2/16

Monitor: 4K 27ul550p-w

SSD: 256GB 2.5"

I watched the video:

Can someone with better knowledge take a look at the config.plist file to check where I might be making a mistake? I'm receiving the following message when trying to install macOS:

After that, the computer automatically restarts.

P.S. I used:

# Latest version
# ie. Ventura (13)
python3 macrecovery.py -b Mac-4B682C642B45593E -m 00000000000000000

If I try

# Monterey (12)
python3 macrecovery.py -b Mac-FFE5EF870D7BA81A -m 00000000000000000 download

I get

And there it stops. I wait for minutes, but nothing happens, and I have to manually restart the computer.
 
If I try Sonoma:

python3 macrecovery.py -b Mac-7BA5B2D9E42DDD94 download

I get:

In the meantime, I added a kext for the internet:

Not sure why are you using a Laptop EFI guide.

Not sure why are you using a Laptop EFI guide.
I didn't even pay attention to whether it's a laptop or desktop, I just saw AMD :)


I still need to find the link for the desktop :unsure:

Edit: I found it:

 
Can you now check where I went wrong when creating the 'OpenCore EFI for AMD Desktop?

On the following link, I found that someone managed to install macOS Ventura with the same processor and motherboard as I have.


I tried to establish contact with that person, but without success.
I noticed that the person changed the SMBIOS from MacPro7,1 to iMac20,1, so I also set mine to iMac20,1.
In the BIOS, I set Above 4G Decoding = Enabled, CSM = Disabled, Resizable BAR Support = Disabled, SATA Mode = AHCI, Secure Boot = Disabled...

When you enable Above 4G Decoding, you should not use npci=0x2000 boot arg. Remove it and then check.
