My Specs for this Build:
1. So from following the El Capitan Guide on any Intel Based CPU... http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...-el-capitan-any-supported-intel-based-pc.html
MY BIOS:
SCREENSHOTS OF CURRENT PROGRESS:
When making my bootable USB, I used the injected graphics for NVIDIA. (I've made 2 separate USB sticks, one with and one without the injected graphics, same result). I have tried also using: nv_disable=1 and nvda_drv=1 flags with no luck.
If anyone has any light they could shed relating to any of the specs for this build, I would be greatly appreciative if to make any progress.

MY BIOS:
- Following each step to a T, I tried first by just booting from the USB without using any boot flags. Under my current BIOS settings I had to enable OtherOS under AdvancedMode-->Boot-->SecureBoot-->OtherOS. This allowed me to boot to the UEFI USB Stick.
- After Enabling OtherOS. I was able to get to the apple logo (not using verbose flag), and the progress bar will show but never begins to show any progress. The progress bar never started, I left it alone for 1 hour.
- Next, after moving further down the rabbit hole, I began to read more about my Motherboard and potential boot flags which to use for my build. (npci=0x2000 or npci=0x3000). Using either of these flags allows the Clover installer progress bar to proceed as if we are moving further (trying to get to boot the OS).
- I've only been able to get the Clover installer to load 3/4 of the way which in verbose mode distorts the text and throws the prohibit symbol.
