Hi! I am trying to install Monterey 12.7.5 with a PC that has the following specs:
- CPU: i7 2600
- MOBO: Intel DH67CL
- RAM: 10Gb DDR3
- iGPU: Intel HD 2000 (disabled in BIOS due to incompatibility with Monterey)
- dGPU: ASUS RX 580 8Gb
- Storage: Crucial BX500 240Gb + 1Tb WD BLue
- Audio: PreSonus Studio 24C
- Bootloader: OpenCore 0.7.0
Context:
A couple of days ago I had tried to install Monterey with Clover. Indeed, I got it:

However, when trying to start the installer from disk, I got a lot of errors until I decided to try OpenCore, followed Dortana's guide and used OC version 0.7.0 because I saw someone running his Hackintosh with the same motherboard using this bootloader.
Now, I haven't had much luck with OpenCore on previous occasions, but now I managed to get it to boot from USB with no problems (however, if there is anything I could correct, I would appreciate your help as well)
After this, boots without any problems... or so I think.
I don't get any GUI, with icons and stuff (unlike Clover which did show me a graphical interface), I just have this:
It even recognizes the macOS installation on the hard disk (option 4).
The problem is that, when I select both start from USB and hard disk (option 3 and 4 respectively), I get the error:
OCB: StartImage failed - Aborted
OCB: StartImage failed - Aborted
After that, I return to the OpenCore selection/picker menu.
My BIOS:
- UEFI: Enabled
- VT-X: Enabled
- VT-D: Disabled (and I can't change that)
- SecureBoot: Disabled
- CSM: Disabled
- Sata mode: AHCI
- iGPU: Disabled
- HotPlug: Disabled
Things I did (or tried):
- Follow as closely as possible the Dortana guide for Sandy Bridge processors.
- Format the USB in FAT mode and MBR partition scheme (I used two different USB's).
- I used SSDTTime to extract the DSDT.aml file, which leaves me with only one SSDT-EC file that I added to the ACPI folder.
- I used GenSMBIOS to (obviously) generate my SMBIOS (MacPro6.1).
- I used ProperTree-Master to modify the config.plist file (taken from Opencore Release 0.7.0) and did OC Snapshot every time I made a change.
- Using a .raw image file from Monterey vanilla (I downloaded several .iso versions that I could not flash on any USB, both with Rufus and BalenaEtcher).
- Search a lot of times everywhere about every error I get...
I thank you in advance for any help you can offer me. I will attach the latest .log of Opencore and my config.plist
