No laptop hardware details in your profile. Please fix.

Please provide complete details in your profile/signature
("Personal Details" link from "profile menu" in upper right corner of this site)

Mobo: manufacturer/model + bootloader(Clover/Chameleon/Chimera)
CPU: detailed CPU model + motherboard chipset
Graphics: all graphics devices + laptop internal screen resolution

For example, typical Ivy laptop:
Mobo: HP ProBook 4540s (Clover)
CPU: i5-3320m/HM76
Graphics: HD4000, 1366x768

Use CPU-Z on Windows to find CPU (Core iX-xxx) and motherboard chipset (HMxx), and graphics capabilities. For a laptop, these details are important and affect critical installation procedures.

Note: When specifying your bootloader, if using Clover legacy, please be sure to specify "Clover legacy"). Specifying "Clover" will be assumed as "Clover UEFI"

Done. Any ideas to solving my issue?

Your profile is still not filled out correctly. Missing internal screen resolution... a very important hardware detail and could be directly related to your issue.

Please read the request for hardware details. Carefully.

Boot using your USB...

Try what you said,my problem:when booting,it's stochastic to show 2 lines errors(the picture I posted before),when this appear, I need to rebbot to set BIOS twice:first to disable the legacy boot choice,next reboot to enable it again,after that,it can boot by Clover,otherwise it failed.I trying boot only UEFI in BIOS seting but didn't work.

You have a 4k display.. keep in mind you must use an invalid ig-platform-id until you can patch for the pixel clock limit (IOKit/CoreDisplay depending on version).

Which one should I use? Does it matter?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by ig-platform-id. Does that mean integrated graphics? I would assume so. You said place an invalid ID for it. Where would this go? What ID should I put?

OK... basic stuff here...

ig-platform-id refers to injecting AAPL,ig-platform-id. It configures the framebuffer for integrated graphics.
If you feed it an invalid one, the drivers will not start (but still load).
It is specified at config.plist/Graphics/ig-platform-id
It can also be changed in the Clover GUI before you boot.
There are limited valid values, and many invalid values. The common invalid value we use on purpose to keep the graphics drivers from starting is 0x12345678.
