So, I've been struggling my way through many common problems the past week, and there's one problem I don't think I am able to solve. I've set up the installation USB with UniBeast, and everything else that says in this guide from tonymacx86.
Clover boots, and now the problem comes when I should boot MacOSx from the USB. First I got a totally black screen, but after several tries and searches online, I got up some line of pluses. Now what? How can I get further to the installer?

I built my computer half a year ago, and it has these as follows:
i7 6700K
Gigabyte ga-z170x ud5 th
Kingston HyperX Fury 32GB 2400MHz (DDR4)

Have been running smoothly with windows 10 since January.

Hope someone would like to help me with this!
 
@bjornpettt, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

Boot your system in Verbose Mode and post a picture of your screen when it freezes/hangs.
At Clover Boot Screen press space bar and select Verbose (-v)
 
Well.. For some reason the screen went black this time. Tested twice just to make sure.

The EFI folder might be a bit strange. I did not have that one by itself. I had to use MultiBeast to make it appear temporarily, and that seemed to be some kind of a temporarily folder or partition, so I copied it into the "USB root". The BIOS settings should be fine. I followed the steps in the guide, but I could not find most of the settings, like IO SerialPort and CFG-Lock. I disabled VT-d and set OS Type to Other OS. Hope this helps. How bad is my EFI folder? There was nothing about kexts in the previously referred guide, but I added FakeSMC.kext onto the USB and tried to boot in clover with the kext injected, but I have no idea if that did any difference.
