[HELP NEEDED] Trying to Install on GigaByte Z97M-DS3H

Hey guys, pretty new to Hackintoshes but I've been doing a lot of research. I've built a system with a Gigabyte Z97M-DS3H and an i7.

Note that all usb ports on the Z97-DS3H are USB 3.0.

I'm using UniBeast to make a USB boot up drive with clover. It seems to be fine, but I get the prohibited screen. Tried a bunch of different boot flags, with no luck.

I believe it's a motherboard USB issue. I don't know how to install kexts to my USB installer drive, because I don't see a clover folder on it (see image).

What am I doing wrong here, and what can I do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hey guys, I'd like to follow up. I was able to install OS X. For reference:

- I had to use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the motherboard.
- I used integrated graphics to install--I didn't install the graphics card until after I'd installed OS X and the NVIDIA web drivers.

I'm still having issues with the USB devices being recognized on boot. Once OS X is up, I can unplug them and plug them back in and they work. But they don't until I do that.

I think it's a BIOS setting, so I'll try that first. If that doesn't work, I'll start looking into kexts. But I don't know yet.

Thanks to all the wonderful people that made this possible.
