Hi, I would appreciate your help on this. I had previously built and installed Mac OSX on my old PC legacy build, but I'm having trouble installing into my new UEFI X299 build.

I have High Sierra Unibeast on a USB, I can boot into the Unibeast screen where you choose the USB Unibeast to boot into the installation screen. But it won't boot into the installation screen. It just shows a black screen then restarts. I've also gotten the apple logo to pop up from time to time I think when I've changed to another USB port, but then it'll show a circle cross symbol. I've tried making some changes in the bios but still same result.

My build is as follows;

Corsair Obsidian 750D

Operating System:

I would really appreciate your help on this.
 
Having similar issue. I had Mojave installed but I wanted to downgrade to High Sierra so I created a bootable USB. I made a big boo-boo because I used the Recovery option in the clover boot screen and got to the recovery/repair disk util and formatted my drive... Yikes! Now the USB with High Sierra isn't working, similar to how you describe: I select the Boot macOS from Install macOS High Sierra and I get the Apple logo and the progress bar, which sometimes gets across 5% and sometimes 75%. Never 100%. But at some point there is an audible click and the computer restarts.
