Not a Desktop - Moved to Laptop Support.

You used a config for Ivy Bridge on Sandy Bridge, then. That's why the graphics aren't initializing.

Follow this guide: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-booting-the-os-x-installer-on-laptops-with-clover.148093/

For your config.plist you will use config_HD3000 - use the one matching your screen resolution.

You need to fill out your profile: motherboard (ie, laptop model), CPU, and graphics: HD 3000.

Oops, I forgot. You need to install High Sierra, not Mojave. Mojave does not support HD 3000.

If you don't have an SSD, this is probably good anyway. You can take the opportunity to install on HFS, which is still possible in High Sierra: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...n-high-sierra-update-or-fresh-install.232855/

Is there any sort of vBios that can be injected to use the HD 3000 for Mojave? I am trying to get it to work with the latest version of Logic.

Any help is appreciated. =)

There may be some possibilities to try it with Metal disabled. See this thread, eg: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/disabling-metal.263157/

You can expect certain things to be broken, running that way.

That thread seems to indicate that beta1 might be your only shot at running "native" (in the sense that the necessary drivers had not yet been removed).

I tried with Metal disabled (by setting the boot argument ngfxgl=1) and I was unable to boot - the issue seems to persist, each time I have about 5 seconds to take a picture of the console before the screen goes black, is there a boot argument that prevents it from immediately exiting?

Thank you so much for the help so far!

If you want to try: follow the guide I linked to, but add ngfxgl=1

Your clover settings as shown in the images aren't correct, so start going through that guide.

I went through the guide I got the prohibited sign, here was my result in console "-v" boot argument (had metal disabled):
