  • Thank you for your multiple responses. Now, I get a fairly good understanding of your system. We also have a language barrier to overcome to understand oner another.

  • With all your posts , screen shots and added explanations, I now know your dual boot is set up with a separate Windows disk and a Hackintosh High Sierra and uses Clover EFI from Hackintosh as the common Bootloader.
    • Of the 3 SATA disks the third one is a larger disk partitioned into two and used as for Storage of Personal files .
  • Adding to (using +) CLOVER/config.plist/Gui/Hide Volume,
    • you have hidden those two partitions as
      • Legacy HD 1 and
      • Legacy HD2,
    • you have made your CBM Screen look clutter -free with just
      • your MacOS High Sierra and
      • Windows 10 Disk icons.
  • You have no problem using your system as long as it boots OK.
  • But occasionally it hangs BEFORE CBM with a blinking _

  • With the above information, I feel the problem is from the USB Memory Card Drive

I agree we have difficulty communicating well because of language problem.
But still we can try if we can add images to text to clarify.:)
This is what I tried to say:

  • You have a SATA Disk with Windows (version not specified by you) and I suspected Windows 10 ,
  • You have a 2nd SATA disk with MacOS High Sierra .
  • You have a 3rd Hard disk with No Operating System but you use it for storage of mostly Windows Files. That may have 2 Partitions marked as Legacy HD 1 and Legacy HD2 and hidden through CLOVER/config.plist

I think your USB Card Reader is the issue. You need to disable the card slots and make them appear like "Floppy"
You did not tell what software you tried to install and how. That might have changed the "Boot Option Priorities" list on reboot and you had to force shut down causing the issue.
You cannot DISABLE the Card Reader Permanently, I guess, as it is meant to be a drive to be used as a Boot Drive like SATA and other USB drives.

Let us see anyone else has a better solution for your intermittent boot failure I suspect from Card Reader.

In one of my PCs, this was a constant problem. After eliminating everything else, I diagnosed it as the culprit. I removed the device from my Desktop's Front Bezel and closed that with a slot cover. Once its USB cable and Power Cable came out of the Mother Board, that problem was solved for me.
I use an External USB card reader that I can connect to my USB 3.0 port to get photos from my Camera Memory Card. Sabrent USB 3.0 Super Speed 4 slot Memory Card Reader, Black (CR-BMC3)

  • To confirm that to be the cause, DISCONNECT its POWER and USB cable and then reboot and check for a few days before removing it. This way you are sure that is the cause of your problem.
