Has anyone with a Z97M-D3H mother board had success installing El Capitan?

Has anyone with a Z97M-D3H motherboard had success installing El Capitan? I have tried every way I can think of. I have used the normal clover install, the unibeast 6 install and nothing works for me. If anyone here has had success using this motherboard I can use all the help that I can get. I can't seem to get the install to complete. After it's first reboot it gets stuck on a black screen with a spinning wheel (like the one you get when you do a shut down or restart) I really have no idea what I am doing wrong.

This one is close, but not the same: http://www.tonymacx86.com/el-capita...n-ga-z97x-ud3h-i7-4790k-geforce-gt-740-a.html

This one might be the same but I can't tell if the characters are transposed or it's really different -- but again it should be pretty close: [SUCCESS] Gigabyte Z97-HD3 rev2.0 - i5 4590 - 16Gb Ram - HD4600 El Capitan

my works perfectly !

do you use hdmi or DVi screen?

vga is not supported on OSX, insatallation will give you a black screen! and verbose mode will show few install lines and then fail !! but it works in bios menu

DVI is the way to go

Intel 4600 graphics worked for me out-of-the-box, haven't tweaked anything. I read on the web, apparently if you can play chess and make moves it means QE/CI works. Can anyone confirm?

I've attached configuration/benchmarks ...

Hi,

I'm very active in different installations, so after reading a lot of forums decided to install Yosemite. It runs perfectly, see benchmarks for comparison. The only difference is that this one has 16GB of RAM.

As for your question, check if in BIOS you have selected:

Internal graphics: IGFX
Internal graphics memory size: 512 MB
DVMT Total Memory size: MAX

Connect one monitor to DVI and it should work out of the box
