BIOS
First you have to go into your BIOS and follow those steps in order one by one.
- BIOS Setup Part 1:
Advanced > ACPI Setting > ACPI Sleep State > [Suspend Disabled]
Advanced > NCT5532D Super IO Configuration > Serial Port 1 Configuration > Serial Port > [Disabled]
Advanced > CSM Configuration > Boot Option Filter > [Disabled]
Advanced > CSM Configuration > Storage > [UEFI]
Advanced > CSM Configuration > Video > [UEFI]
Advanced > USB Configuration > XHCI Hand-Off > [Enabled]
Advanced > USB Configuration > EHCI Hand-Off > [Enabled]
IntelCRSetup > Processor Configuration > Hyper-Threading [All] > [Enabled]
IntelCRSetup > Processor Configuration > Execute Disable Bit > [Enabled]
IntelCRSetup > Processor Configuration > MSR Lock Control > [Disabled]
REBOOT
- BIOS Setup Part 2:
Go back to BIOS Setup once again and on Advanced set CSM Support to Disabled:
Advanced > CSM Configuration > CSM Support > [Disabled]
REBOOT
And now you should be able to boot from Opencore.
