Failure in Booting Laptop with Bootable USB

[Wallpaperr]

I'm having trouble with successfully converting my laptop. I have done all the steps required in putting everything onto a flashdrive to make it a "bootable" usb with High sierra and such.

I then put the usb into my laptop and boot from the usb but it just sits on the black screen with the cursor flashing in the upper left.

Nothing happens ever. It is just stuck it seems.

Please help!

Follow the Clover guide linked from the FAQ.
http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...faq-read-first-laptop-frequent-questions.html

Although you should read the FAQ for an overview of issues, the Clover guide is linked from the first question: "Q. Where do I start?", just after the bold face "Clover Guide".
Here is a direct link, just to be clear:
https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

Also, your profile must be filled out with complete details as requested in the FAQ, again under "Q. Where do I start?". All seven details requested are equally important.

And if you have an issue (after following the guide), or on any other problem, you must provide a detailed description of the problem including information that helps us understand what you're doing. Always attach "Problem Reporting" files as per FAQ.

The required files and data are fully detailed in the last question in the FAQ:
"Q. What are typical "Problem Reporting" files?"
