One thing that might help though is turning off standby mode on the video card in the BIOS
Would you mind please sharing your BIOS version and a configuration? I'm with NUC6i7KYK and I can't get Sierra installer running. I posted it few pages earlier that I always stuck at the beginning of the install with ++++++.I've updated to HS on NUC skull canyon. Everything seems to be in working order. Thanks Rehabman
You should probably show photos of *all* your BIOS options.
And of course...
Boot verbose, show photo.
Attach EFI/Clover you're using.
I posted Verbose photo and EFI earlier: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...syk-nuc6i7kyk-etc.207848/page-79#post-1585638
See BIOS50 configuration file attached.
Hope, that helps!
FYI...
Updated my NUC6i7KYK (Skull Canyon) to High Sierra with no surprises so far.
Notes:
- updated Clover to latest (using my Clover fork)
- all my kexts/config.plist/etc are up-to-date with respect to the github project
- even though you can avoid conversion to APFS by using startosinstall (--converttoapfs NO), I let the normal installer convert to APFS
- you must have apfs.efi in drivers64UEFI (without it Clover will not recognize your APFS
- apfs.efi can be obtained from /usr/standalone/i386 inside "/Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app/Contents/SharedSupport/BaseBinaries.dmg"
- "Preboot" volume will need to be hidden with a custom entry in your config.plist (haven't done it yet on mine)
@RehabMan Thanks your great work. I will have a try. NVMe issue no exist, isn't?
Will you open another topic for High Sierra installation guide for NUC6?

Don't quite get what you mean by "even though you can avoid conversion to APFS by using startosinstall (--converttoapfs NO), I let the normal installer convert to APFS".
You mean when you start the installation within the an existing installation, you can issue the above command in the Terminal and start the install with startosinstall (--converttoapfs NO)?
Of course when you want to start the installation on a SSD with no existing system, you must use the "sudo "/Applications/Install macOS High Sierra.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia" --volume /Volumes/install_osx --nointeraction" right?
