Can't install or update Big sur, it reboots.

Q: What is a Hackintosh?

A non-Apple computer configured to run macOS using compatible PC hardware combined with a custom bootloader and configuration files to emulate a real Mac environment.

Q: Is building a Hackintosh legal?

Installing macOS on non-Apple hardware violates Apple’s End User License Agreement (EULA). It is generally not illegal for personal experimentation but not permitted for commercial use.

Q: What hardware is best for a Hackintosh?

The best hardware closely matches real Apple systems, with Intel CPUs (6th Gen to Core Ultra), AMD Radeon GPUs, compatible chipsets, and Intel-based Wi-Fi cards offering higher success rates.

Q: Can I build a Hackintosh with an AMD CPU?

Yes, macOS can run on AMD Ryzen CPUs using kernel patches, but Intel CPUs provide better native compatibility.

Q: What is OpenCore?

OpenCore is a modern Hackintosh bootloader that provides near-native macOS behavior and is the recommended bootloader for new installations.

Q: Is Clover still supported?

Yes, Clover is still supported but less recommended compared to OpenCore for modern systems.

Q: Which macOS versions support Hackintosh?

Hackintosh systems support macOS versions from Leopard up to recent releases, depending on hardware compatibility.

Q: Do NVIDIA graphics cards work on Hackintosh?

Only older NVIDIA GPUs work on older macOS versions; modern NVIDIA GPUs are incompatible with current macOS releases due to lack of driver support.

Q: What is an EFI folder?

The EFI folder contains the bootloader, drivers, kexts, and configuration files required to boot macOS on a Hackintosh.

Q: What are kexts?

Kexts (kernel extensions) are drivers that enable hardware functionality such as audio, Ethernet, USB, and graphics.

Hi there,
is there anyone who can help me with installing big sur?
The problem is this: after installing the system on the ssd (when there are 12 minutes left, it restarts by itself) I try to boot from the usb key indicating the partition in which I have installed Big Sur, the system loads, the apple logo appears but shortly thereafter the status bar stops progressing and the system reboots by itself. I've tried tons of config.plists and settings (quirks and more) but I've been getting the same result for about a month now.
I tried both with OC (all versions up to 0.6.4) and with CLOVER version 5127.
What should I do ? Please help me.

My hardware configuration is as follows:
Asus z97-k / usb3.1
intel i5-4590 Haswell
16GB Corsair ram
Crucial MX-500 SSD
AORUS Radeon RX-570

Thanks in advance

I attach config.plist, photos and video.
