-Delete old EFI folder and paste new. Don't use merge files

-Don't use Drag and Drop into EFI partition. Use Copy/Paste instead

Hello MaLd0n !!! Even with your latest EFI Catalina keep Freezing....!!!!.....If U have a solution...there is another issue but I dont know if it is Normal ..... my Nvidia GT710 do not give acceleration  with VideoProc...is it normal could help U to find a FIX....!?!?

Updating to the latest beta U never know it could get worser less likely to solve problems but dont have nothing to lose....

Im going to look for rx560 0r +..!!!

because on the verbose Boot there were messages  about CPU Not Supported i Added on on EFI/Clover/Kext /Other :

CPUFriend.kext
CPUFriendDataProvider.kext

created with CPUfriendfriend and then Rebooted Payed Attention and seems not have seen CPU unsupported message al Boot seemed a little faster.... Tryng and so far NO Freezing.....Intel Power Gadget reporting always constant 2300 mhz but I believe it's some bug of this app  as U can see from the photo down....Hope to have much much better stability with this Fix....Ill let U know after some trying.... Im on the latest beta version of Catalina.

Configuring as iMacPro1.1 and iMacPro7.1 No Success..... INSTEAD as Xserver2.1 seems to be going Good...Ill let U know after a more prolongated Try.....it's the configuration more similar to my hardware.

With firmware Xserver2.1 is quite Stable but Not Total Free Freezing.....Tryng now using the original Quadro Nvidia K2200 4 gb GDDR5 because my Nvidia GT710 is DDR5 but not Kepler DDR3 and so U see better the colors but acceleration = 0....It's just a TRY and See So Far with the light theme it's a little worse  with the dark mode there is no difference but for the moment No Freezing Keep Trying.... For the RX560 I must see if my HP Z440 workstation support it. with Power because " Alimentatore of HP" is not Good...... Happy Day at Everyone...!!!!!

Hello MaLd0n one little question !!!

Im on Hp Z440 workstation with Catalina and Mojave on another SSD but Nvidia GT710 2gb is recognized but when i open VideoProc there is = 0 acceleration from the Nvidia....Is it Normal !? Should I enable some quirk to obtain a little hardware acceleration...... on Mojave and Catalina is the same...Please if U have a Fix let me know...have googled but found no working answer for my hardware....Have a Good Day Ahead.

Latest "Try and See" : from Mojave runned : Olarila Repair and rebooted , then with Hackintool created a Patch and added in the right way to config.plist in the right way that Clover configurator accepted without telling Error....Then Updated to Catalina to the latest version and Now Im trying how it works with Freezing...so Far all Good...!!!!

1 - Hello MaLd0n Im Now on Catalina latest build available not Beta tester and with Hackintool Patch added like Nvram=2048 that I don't understand but added correctly to the Config.plist My Catalina So Far It's Running without Freezings...Let's Hope It Keeps Running This Way.......!!!!!!! the videocard is Nvidia GT710 ....however on my system Firefox give me the 99% of Freezings problems......

2 - Latest Try and See :  sudo nvram boot-args="vm_compressor=2"    from Terminal and rebooted Let's see what happens.....

Seems that all that freezing was due to : Jdownloader2 and maybe firefox bugs....avoiding to use this programs No Freeze so far....Hope keeps so Good...!!!!!!

Have a Good Day Everyone..!!!!!

Hello Mald0n and Everyone else...!!!!

After All This Trouble Try and See ...I Do confirm that Jdownloader 2  the most and Firefox caused to my Hp Z440 workstation Hackintosh Olarila Catalina ALL THAT FREEZING..... Now with Your Updated EFI there are no More Frequent Freezings.... I have seen that with original poisoned apple hardware there are many problems....Macos it's Not the most advanced OS in the Universe and as all human things well well far from perfection...... I Do Appreciate MaLd0n and Olarila Team for the help and wish U all : Have a Good Day Ahead ...!!!!!

Hello MaLd0n Here is a Miracle !!!

Have updated the Catalina to the latest version of beta 19H1915 then updated with Hackintool the Cputsync to the latest version and tryed to update to Monterey 12.3.1 Via installer....there were many many reboot but I m Now on Monterey 12.3.1.........For my HP Z440 workstation It's a MIRACLE and Your EFI it's the One who made it possible...... Keep trying let's see what happens......I'll Let U know.... Many Many Many Thks to U MaLd0n....!!!!!!!! 

MountEfi.command asked to update Python then Parallels asked to reboot the machine for the changes for the new OS but  not start working anymore... Running this message from Mojave now.......MalD0n have U some suggestion to make it boot on Monterey 12.3.1 !?!?!?.... it doesnt boot with the usbpen with the installer and the EFI that make it possible to install MOnterey....!!!!!!!

From Olarila Catalina Beta 18H1919 to Monterey  Beta 12.4......

Going to see what happens when I reboot........ so far 10 minutes on Monterey 12.4 on HP Z440 Workstation !!!!!!!!

I Did Olarila repair before reboot and at boot booted from Preload at the third time I m again on Monterey 12.4 it's not smooth if Maldon have something to say i could try to from catalina beta to big sur beta maybe it's a little smoother....!!!!!

Changed strategy....Installed Linux Mint with Parallels and running Jdownloader2 on linux mint to avoid freezings...so far it's all good.....with Monterey it started but was No Smooth too hard to work good....Maybe would try with Big sur what happens somewhere in the near future...!!!!! Have a good Day Everyone....!!!!

Hello Everyone have a good day !!!!

This Hp Z440 workstation with nvidia gt710 must not be an ideal machine to make Hackintos...it keeps Freezing Randomly at any momente if U have a download that last for more than 2 or 3 hours it's 90% likely Catalina Freezes....!!!!

So actually tryng to install Monterey The New Way with Proxmox 721.....I'm going to tell how it's going !!!!!

Hard to be a hackintosher....!!!!!
