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.

Hi there people! I’m having an issue with my MacOS Sierra installation. I’m having a MacBook Pro 2017. Every time I try to te-install the Os it fails. I hope someone has a solution for me.
Also, don't quote me on this tho, but I'm pretty sure that 2017 MBP's came with High Sierra from the factory, and not Sierra? Macs don't let you run operating systems older than what they came from the factory with. One thing you can do tho is to use this tool: https://github.com/corpnewt/gibMacOS
