GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-Designare with Mojave 10.14.6

Any kexts placed in the EFI/CLOVER/kexts/Other folder are not cached by the system or loaded into protected kernel-space. Instead they are "injected" at boot time by Clover. A bit like sneaking a letter under the door instead of pushing it through the letterbox. The advantage is you get the USB configuration in early-on in the boot process and it lessens the chance of finding dead ports if system security is set high.

Copy that.

I'm not sure if you're asking me to "From the Clover boot menu, select the first "Preboot" option."?
I booted from my USB drive into my Hack HD.
The EFI folder is attached.

I'm having serious graphics glitches as I write this, which has never happened before.

The EFI seems corrupt. I can't unzip it. Please post again.

Attached...

My bad.
Here it is.

Sorry. I still can't open it...

@pastrychef
OK.
What else can I do? I copied the EFI folder to my desktop.
I just zipped it again. It's attached.
I'm working off the machine right now. I'm booted from my USB drive.
I installed the AMD graphics card, reset the Bios.
Graphics look good. The HDMI and the DVI port work.

This one opened.

Try this one. I changed the version of AptioMemoryFix. Hopefully, this will get you past the "End randomseed" and row of pluses.

Sorry to say that didn't work.
I waited for a while to see but it's just hanging there.

I don't know why your motherboard gets stuck there...

@pastrychef
Because I decided to go with a MB that wasn’t “sanctioned” as a MB that would work.
That’s my bad.

What is so different about my USB Clover/Mojave boot drive and the EFI boot that you are creating?

Are you trying to get the USB ports correct?

The USB-C ports?

The SMBIOS?
