Ventura Update stuck on [EB|#LOG:EXITBS:START] (Haswell)
You also seem to be using an older version of OpenCore, so updating that would be a good idea if you get the GPU issue sorted.

Booting Windows error: OCB: StartImage failed - Already started - what to do under BlessOverride?
This is due to OpenCore getting confused when trying to boot Windows and accidentally thinking it's booting OpenCore. This can be avoided by either move Windows to it's own drive or adding a custom drive path under BlessOverride. See Configuration.pdf (opens new window)for more details.

Unable to create serial number i clicked on it multiple times unable to choose model any alternative?
Looks like you're trying to use a "Configurator" utility in your video.Most likely part of your problem. Not any part of them are supported around here. Try GenSMBios or just manually enter it in your config.

What happen if i login my icloud in hackintosh?
if you have/did a proper SMBIOS injection, nothing happens, it's just like you have a real mac. Just avoid changing your SMBIOS abruptly (if ever) with your account logged in, best to log out and try new SMBIOS. For better SMBIOS injection I recommend you to use "GenSMBIOS". In my case, all services always work on the first try.

I checked the dortania troubleshooting page, and everything on the page that I could. (i haven't installed it yet, i can't.)
Not necessarily at the moment, after installation (if everything is ok - I hope so), you can do it with https://github.com/corpnewt/GenSMBIOS
