    I have an iMac 27 inch, mid 2011 running on OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5*. I am trying to set-up a virtual machine using OS X Yosemite 10.10.4 and the there is a serious video issue. The virtual machine is working BUT everything is super slow...

    HINT: When I start OS X Yosemite Virtual machine, I always see a line "screening" the screen, from top to bottom, indicatiog the machine has trouble rendering the screen. For ME this is a clear indication that what I try (tried) didn't worked.

    * Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    * Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

    I tried all (I think) the solutions that I found on the internet, but nothing is working...

    ------
    I tried [ sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0x10" ] in the computer itself, not working
    I tried [ sudo nvram boot-args="debug=0xd4e" ] in the computer itself, not working
    Nothing anormal in the "Activity monitor" window of the Yosemite virtual machine OR in my computer itself.
    ------

    Please help!

    Hello JivRey,
    Could you please tell us which version of Parallels Desktop are you using?
    Also, please tell us what is the OS X of your Virtual Machine that you are trying to set up and what is the Host OS X.

    @JivRey please try the steps below:
    1. Shut your VM down and open the VM configuration
    2. In the VM configurations open the Hardware tab -> Boot order
    3. Paste the following flag in the Boot Flag box:
    vm.efi.mac_recovery=1

    Check the issue and please let us know the results.

    And what is this suppose to change?? It just forces the Virtual OS X to show the utilities to restore the OS.. The same way I would hold ALT on startup to re-install my system.. This virtual OS X Yosemite has just been installed, it is a fresh, new installation. Sorry but unless you mention me that by re-installing the system (Which has not been mentioned), for me, this is not looking close to a solution.
