You are probably correct when thinking your Nvidia dGPU is causing issues while installing macOS on your system. You have an Nvidia Kepler GPU from a range that is known to be problematic for macOS, even older versions that natively support these GPUs. See the link below from the GPU Buyers...

According to the specifications page for your MSI motherboard you should have a maximum of 17 ports active in your USB configuration. The ports are as listed below. AMD- Chipset 2 x USB 3.1 Gen 1 (SuperSpeed USB 5Gbps) Type-A ports on the back panel 4 x USB 2.0 (High-speed USB) ports (2...

Yes, as they won’t be required.

Pretty much any USB to Ethernet adapter will work, as macOS contains drivers for these devices.

Try using a USB to Ethernet adapter, these can be found relatively cheap on Amazon and eBay. This is what a lot of AMD users ended up doing because of the same issue you are facing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/AmazonBasics-1000-Gigabit-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B00M77HMU0/ref=sr_1_1_ffob_sspa? You can...

Try this OpenCore 1.0.3 EFI which was created for a similar B450M system. I have edited the folder contents and config.plist to match your 6-core CPU, NAVI dGPU and motherboard specs. All you need to do for it to work is add the SMBIOS data for a MacPro7,1 system to the config.plist, i.e...

Post a copy of the EFI folder you are using so we can see what could be causing the issue/kernel panic.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Your USBMap.kext/Contents/Info.plist is shown below, as seen when viewed in ProperTree plist editor. You appear to be missing a number of USB ports from this configuration. You don't have a physical Type-C port, just the XHC0 > HS01 which is a virtual USB2 port served from the type-c+sw (9)...

The M.2 PCIe drives should all be fine. Assuming you have set them to work at x4 and not x2 speed. Bios should do this, but always best to check. The CPUInfo.txt file says your system contains a Ryzen 9 7959X3D (16-core), your signature says you have a Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8-core). Which is...

No it can't see never mind access 20GB VRAM, as the Nvidia GPU won't ever work in macOS.

Which NVME card is located in each M.2 connector? Partial motherboard layout showing M.2 connectors and 3 x PCIe slots Extract from manual regarding PCIe slot settings. You may also need to review the Bifurcation settings for slot 1, as this may impact on the 2nd slot, which is only set to...

Mapping the USB ports would be really helpful for your system going forward. If done correctly it would eliminate a number of common issues straight out the box.

Sometimes the 2nd or 3rd PCIe slot shares bandwidth/PCIe lanes with a couple of SATA ports or one of the M.2 connectors. This if enabled can limit the number of PCIe lanes available to the slot. I am not familiar enough with your motherboard to know if this is the case for your setup.

Check your bios settings to see if there are any restrictions or limitations on the second x16 PCIe slot.
