Blue Screen Freeze on Start Up for Mac Pro

My Mac Pro will not start up. I have done everything I have read to do online and it still stops before finishing startup. Even with a start up disc!

Any help?

PS: I have lots of other photos showing things I have tried if anyone is interested.


iMac 21.5" 4K, macOS 10.14

- Once booted in Recovery Mode, open Terminal, and run the following command: csrutil disable

- Reboot the system.

- Once the system reboots, it should now successfully boot into your install of OS X. Now, you'll need to download the program found here.

- Run the program, follow the prompts, and enter your password when prompted.

- Once the tool finishes running, your system should now run without the dedicated graphics, and should work completely normally.


the program's name is:

MacBook Pro dGPU disabler.app


... probably still in the downloads folder. Re-running it is not required, just a matter of interest.
