First Post! Please go easy :)

I am at the end. I have tried relentlessly for days to try and get Yosemite working on a brand new 850 evo Ssd, on my 4530s. I followed all of the 'clover yosemite install guide' steps, attempting both USB creation methods (2a and 2b) , and have also entered multiple combinations of kernel flags including -X GraphicsEnabler=No and Yes, USBBusFix=Yes , USBLegacyOff=Yes, maxmem=4096, Kext-dev-mode=1, and a whole bunch of others. I have re-downloaded Yosemite from the App store 6 separate times, I have recreated the USB 6 TIMES, including the last 2 on a completely new USB flash drive (16Gb SanDisk Cruzer) and have tried it in all of the USB ports around the computer. I have checked and double checked and then checked again all of the BIOS settings, and they match all of the requisites of the install. It doesn't matter what I'm coming from, because this is a fresh install on a brand new drive... Does it?

Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have a solution to my problems?

After the mavericks install was so easy, I am totally lost as to what to do next here.

Sorry if this post is unnecessary, admins, feel free to move it somewhere more suitable. Any help is appreciated!

I'll attach the photo of when I booted last in verbose mode.

Post EFI/Clover folder you're using.
 
Hello RehabMan. Thanks for the rapid reply. What exactly do you want me to post?

Sorry if I'm sounding stupid, it's late, and I've got work in 6 hours. :|

Part of the installation process is creating an EFI/Clover folder on the USB which has the Clover config.plist, kexts, and *.efi drivers. Compress that folder and upload it.
 
Gotcha. Here you go.

You must not be using that EFI/Clover folder to boot. The panic you show is not possible with AsusAICPUPM=true (which you have in your config.plist).

Make sure you're booting UEFI via Clover, not legacy via Chimera/Unibeast.
 
Okay, good news. Sort of. I have made a little progress in terms of getting past the last screen log. I booted from clover like your said, and the readings seem okay when boiting in verbose. However, I get stuck at a white screen with the spinning wheel cursor and it just seems to be hanging there. Any ideas?

Try other usb ports.
