I have a G500 laptop with a recently upgraded i5-3340m inside.
I originally bought the cpu and did the bios-mod for hackintosh. I was having some graphical glitches on sierra and read that you could fix it by allocating more than the original 64mb ram. I tried increasing it to 512 (Already too high for comfort), but that didn't work. Hence, i upped it to 1024. BIG MISTAKE! Now it won't even post. It is on a boot loop. I have tried many things:
If you would like me to upload a video, I will.
Thank you,
Chris
UPDATE: I Figured out that it is not detecting the ram, since it acts the same with 2 sticks in, one stick in, and no sticks in.

- Remove battery, hold power button for 20 sec, then boot back up. Nothing
- Reset CMOS by unplugging CMOS battery for over 3 hours. Nothing
- InsydeH20 recovery. Fan spins loud, but does nothing from there. USB flashes 2 times. No beeps.
