Hello all!
I recently ran into an issue with my Mac Pro and need some advice. I use a 5"1 Mac Pro from mid-2011 it has the single CPU config with 16 gigs of RAM with ATI Radeon graphics paired with an unsupported rx 550 (which works on Windows It treats them as two displays and if you select to show only on display 2 then it only uses the rx550 no boot screen though) using windows 10 Pro. One day after I finished work I shut it down as you do and then when I woke up the next day it went to turn it on. It got to the windows screen and had the spinning circle and I thought it must be corrupt. Hence, I turned it off and switched my cords around so the ATI graphics were plugged in and plugged in my Windows media and it would boot into the installer. When I go to wipe the drive it does and I select it to install and leave it to do its thing I come back about 5ish hours later and it is at 0% coping files on the installer! So I tried to boot into the recovery and the loading bar got stuck I have tried switching around GPUs and just using the ATI card, I swapped out RAM, and did a PRAM reset, but to no avail for giggles I tried installing Linux this morning and it installed! and it worked with my two graphic cards but I would really like to get back to mac os or better yet windows! Sorry for the lengthy explanation but could someone assist me?
