Open terminal and use the sudo nvram boot-args='niog=1' command.

Use csrutil disable command to disable SIP.

When it loads, chose your language and use the top navigation bar to go to Utilities -> Terminal

Reboot and hold down CMD + R during boot.

To fix this we need to boot into recovery and disable SIP. Nvram: Error setting variable - 'boot-args': (iokit/common) general error It'll give you garbage like this instead: You need to run this command: nvram boot-args='niog=1' but it's not going to work unless you boot into recovery first.

This should allow you to use your Mac with an external display, external keyboard/mouse or even the built in keyboard including (the very useful) fingerprint scanner and lcd touch bar on newer models. I didn't find any working solutions in order to configure this on Sierra so I'm posting this for people looking for a solution in 2017. These settings are persistent, in that, they do not need to be re-applied every time the machine's power is cycled and are saved to the file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ To reverse the command, set the 0 to a 1. The -a, -b, -c, -u flags determine whether the settings apply to battery ( -b ), charger (wall power) ( -c ), UPS ( -u ) or all ( -a ).

You can accomplish this with the following command: sudo pmset -a lidwake 0 You can do this using pmset, a local utility found on OS X that actually handles all your power settings. Once it wakens, it will enable the secondary display, but not the internal one.ДЄdditionally, you may set the attribute to leave the system in the sleep state even if the clamshell is opened. Once that happens, move your mouse, or hit a key on your keyboard to wake it. Once it does, close the lid on your notebook. Once you connect the secondary monitor, the system will recognize it. The second is to connect the secondary display when your system is awake and active, and the clamshell open.This will alleviate the issues you have with 'dragging things off the screen' as the system will constrain your desktop to the one, active monitor. Once the external display is connected, turn the machine on-it will detect the secondary display while leaving the internal one turned off. The first is to connect the display with the lid closed when the machine is powered down.There are two ways to connect a secondary display to your notebook without enabling the default screen (note that this does not mean dimming it, but rather turning it off). I had replaced the heat sink, re-applied a sane amount of Arctic Silver thermal paste, and used Lobotomo Fan Control daemon to monitor my system's temperature. You can conduct your own testing of course.

Moreover, the newer models have far more efficient blade fans and would suffer even less from the effects of heat (additionally, the new Intel chipsets run cooler than their predecessors). I ran the system for well over a year with the clamshell open, and then closed, and saw no different in CPU/CPU temps (nor any variability in the other heat sensors) as a result. Personally, I have a 2006 MBP that was eventually relegated to being a desktop. Some claim that keeping the lid open allows the chassis to cool down, but these claims have never had any real data behind them (simply anecdotal evidence and unsubstantiated rumour). Ambient air is never in short supply and the 'exhaust' (where the hot air picked up by the blade fan(s) are expelled) is located at the back of the unit (the black stripe on the newer models and the grey stripe on the first generation machines).

Even if it's 'only happening then', it may be a power draw problem if anything in the computer but it isn't going to be something ram has anything to do with.Having the lid closed or open does not impact the airflow of your MacBook Pro (MBP). Hardware doesn't just 'shut down' unless there's an actual hardware problem. How is your power supply in the computer itself, please go to the top of your steam library window and click HELP > SYSTEM INFORMATION and paste the ENTIRE list here, maybe that'll help narrow it down if it persists. Honestly I had this problem a number of years ago and it turned out to be the stupidest thing: my actual house's power supply couldn't handle both things on the same circuit (because old). Try moving the monitor's physical plug into a different circuit.

Have you absolutely installed all the right drivers (not necessarily the newest, but the right ones) for that card, and researched the model of the monitor to make sure it works well with your system's hardware?ДЄre your computer and monitor both plugged into the same power circuit? Does the MONITOR stop working? Have you plugged it into another computer with a different configuration but try the same game? Or does the COMPUTER shut down, blue-screen, or crash to desktop?
