    ## Troubleshooting

    If you are having any trouble, first try this string. It works on a lot of systems with Intel HD Graphics to get into the OS X Installer from a Unibeast USB.

    -v -x -s -no-zp

    If you have an NVIDIA Desktop GPU, use this string to boot into the installer:

    -v -x -s nv_disable=1

    If all else fails, or you don't know where to start, use this string:

    -v -x -s -f cpus=1 maxmem=4096 nv_disable=1 -no-zp

    If you have an NVIDIA Desktop GPU and you've installed [NVIDIA Web Drivers](https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/306535-nvidia-web-driver-updates-for-el-capitan-update-07112018/), use this string:

    -v nvda_drv=1
