Efi for fx 8350

[Deleted member 22409]

Hello guys i need a hand i tried a lot of open core builds without sucess most of all end in the ''x64 Exception Type'' i followed the classic guide: https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Install-Guide/ im wondering if the x64 Exception Type is because the GA 78LMT- s2 doesn't have UEFI or because of a patch error or because of something misconfigured.

Processor: FX8350

Graphics Cards: Rx 580 or 960 gtx

Motherboards: GA 78LMT- s2 also i bought the ''970a ds3p'' but the 970 is still arriving, im sure the 970a is better because it has the dual bios witch one is the uefi

Memory: 6 gigabytes

This guide might help.

Success - Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 / FX 8350 / Nvidia GTX 690 / OC 0.7.6 - Big Sur 11.6.2 & Monterey 12.1

I have been playing around with my old AMD FX 8350 system (again) and decided to see if I could get it running macOS Big Sur. I used OpenCore 0.7.6 and followed the Dortania AMD Bulldozer guide when creating the EFI folder. I created my macOS Big Sur USB installer using the following...

Swapping the RX 580 for an Nvidia card is not going to help. Stick with the RX 580, as it is a natively supported card.

The 970A motherboard will be the better of the two boards. So I would recommend waiting for it to arrive. Anything you do now will be a waste if you use the 970A board.

Your last post made very little sense. It reads like you have been learning acronyms but don’t really know what they mean or how they relate to each other. When passing information here best to keep it simple.

We don’t use pre made Distro’s here, so using anything from Niresh is not going to be supported.

You need to follow the OC Vanilla guide if you want help on this or any other site that supports AMD Hacks.

Adding the Verbose boot argument '-v' to your config.plist and taking a photo of the text displayed when the system kernel panics, would probably tell us more.

For what it's worth the sections highlighted in the screenshot below are the errors in the log.



Err(0xE) <- RT.GV boot-signature 7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82 is the first and last error.

Try setting SecureBootModel to Disabled, in place of Default. See if that helps.

The second image has a section in the OpenCore Troubleshooting guide, which explains what is happening and the multiple ways this can be fixed. Have a read and see what you find in your setup.

# Getting the error X64 Exception Type... on AMD FX systems

If no UEFI is available are you using the BootInstall_X64.tool for a legacy install provided by OpenCore?

I remember back with my FX system and messing around with OpenCore on it. I ended up using a macOS VM to create the USB installer and setup OpenCore in the legacy format using that.
