Need Help with OpenCore EFI – macOS Sequoia on Ryzen 5 3500X Keeps Rebooting

[madmaxhasan]

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X (6-Core)
• GPU: Gigabyte NVIDIA GTX 1650
• Motherboard: MSI B450M MORTAR MAX
• RAM: 16GB DDR4 3600MHz
• Target OS: macOS Sequoia (latest version)
• SMBIOS: iMac20,1

I followed your OpenCore EFI guide for AMD and built the EFI folder as shown in the video. But when I boot from the USB, my PC keeps restarting (7–8 times so far) and never reaches the macOS installer.

I'm attaching my EFI folder. Please check if it’s compatible with my specs. If not, can you suggest what changes I need to make for OpenCore to work?

Probably, there was a Kernel Panic.

Also, your GPU isn't compatible. You should replace the GPU with a compatible one.

Thanks for the reply.

Is there any older macOS version that works with my GTX 1650? Or do I have to replace the GPU to install macOS at all? Just want to confirm before I change the hardware.

No, its completely unsupported GPU and will NOT work on any OS X/macOS version. Running macOS on bare metal without acceleration would give you crappy performance like Virtual Box and VMware.
