VGA? Why aren't you using DVI-DL-D or DVD-DL-A or HDMI or DP?

I keep getting stuck on this screen when trying to do a fresh install. I followed the instructions on creating a USB with clover and El Capitan. No matter what I do, after the apple logo gets to about 3/4 of the way loading, it gives me this screen. Help please

I had a semi working setup and was mucking around in the bios to try and overclock, I've now got this message which I can't get past. What bios setting could possibly effect it?

Obviously it's a video problem. First thing to do is to try another monitor. Or at least trying a different interface, DL-DVI-I or DL-DVI-D, provided your monitor has multi inputs.

Next thing to try is a different MAC ID. Hopefully those familiar with the Broadwell-E will chime in.

Can you get into the BIOS okay? If so, re-set the BIOS to Default, reboot, re-set the usual settings for OSX: Set to off: Speed Step, VT-d, C-States, Serial Port, etc.

Hopefully you didn't O'C the memory bus and blow out a RAM chip. Download MemTest86 for mac/linux and run it for a few hours, or 24 hours.

So I reset the bios and tried multiple settings, wouldn't boot. I ended up downloading the latest bios from gigabyte , changed what I thought to be the exact same settings... Bam booted up first time ! NFI what I did but I'm going to try and back up my bios on a USB stick.

So anyone with a Gigabyte X99P-SLI download bios F23, it gives users a few extra menu configs as well

If I should disable standby by running at terminal:
sudo pmset -a standby 0 && sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
What would I enter to reestablish standby?
