This tutorial is a continuation of first part. It happened. You're ready to fire up your new hackintosh, pendrive is ready. All you have to is "just install" macOS on your PC. So you insert your pendrive and all that welcomes you is.. famous black screen with kernel panic, or crash. So what next ? Is it over ? NOT AT ALL. It's just a beginning. What you should remember at start, that almost every bios differs. Different versions, different default settings. All that matters when you configure your hackintosh. So keep that in mind when experimenting with various settings. Also, you really have to set some weird things in your bios to break your computer (like CPU settings etc). Really. In most cases wrong settings can be simply reverted by going back to default or optimized mode. So don't be afraid. Break things, experiment, have fun. You'll always learn something valuable. Anyways. Let's get started. If I missed something - PLEASE reply in forum. It's super important. Then we can make a full list of all needed settings.

Where can you find some more additional informations ? Forums: tonymacx68, InsanelyMac, hamac.pl. Best way is to search with similar pattern: your bios manufacturer BIOS for example. MSI 9 BIOS settings or MSI 9 BIOS settings. If your manufacturer is quite popular, then you will find the settings without problems.
