So no good all week on the High Sierra install I followd the same steps but the machine turns off and reboots after the clover screen appears and I select install MacOS (it gets to Apple logo then shuts down, a few seconds later it reboots). I'm pretty convinced it;s my config.plist but can not be sure. I found an install guide for a z800 series with High Sierra and that caused kernel panics. Any ideas on what to look for wold be greatly appreciated, the guide for Mojave worked like a charm but my video card has some issues or I would call it a day with Mojave.

Provide your PR files to check.

Thanks for the advice, I found a terminal command to generate a problem report. My question is, do I mount the USB installers EFI partition in terminal and run report on that? I am convinced I am doing something wrong as far as a memory fix. What is your preferred method for generating a problem report? A little perplexed why I had no issues to get at least install (minus graphics card) on mojave and high sierra is a headache? Any help or guidance is appreciated. thanks again and be safe!

Well great news, I got it to install!!! My BIOS reset it's settings and that was the issue. I dont know why but after the previous shutdowns I wasnt going back to confirm the BIOS settings were still the same. I got ethernet working now and played a youtube video. So this is what I am working on now and have left to figure out:

- Audio : DPCI Manager says nVidia (unknown)
-USB fix (1 out of 3 on front work BUT ALL 4 work on back - il take it though
-nVidia 970 updated webdrivers. Is there a newer web driver for my card? (looks great but on log in screen ONLY I get some lines across the screen)
-CPU power management

Back on track and almost there!!

Follow the guide on the first page and you'll have it fixed.

Update 3/30/2020

I got High Sierra Installed

-nVidia Webdriver working

-Audio is via nVidia HDMI - works very good through monitor BUT is there a way/option to also use the onboard codec and choose in preferences?

Still need Bluetooth
CPU Management

USB ports Still missing 2 on front and the 3.0 ones on the back (al together I have 5 working out of 11 (is there a total fix to use all?)
