Hi guys,

I'm new to Hackintosh and of course I have problems ;-)

Just bought the following HW:
Asus Z270G
i7-7700
Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 500GB SSD
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming
Dell 24" 4k monitor

Followed exactly the installation guide (incl. recommended BIOS config) and tried to install El Capitan. But the computer reboots after showing for a few seconds the apple logo. I tried different options and BIOS setup found here and there but no success (-v -x -cpus=1 -nvdisable=1 GraphicsEnabler...)

In some other treads it is suggested to change the Execute Memory Protect (sometime called differently), but my BIOS does not have this option (the motherboard manual shows an option called "Execute Disable Bit" but this does not appear in my BIOS).

I also tried the Big List of Solutions (Replace VBoxHfs-64.efi with HFSPlus.efi in EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/), but nothing.

It just reboots after the "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++..." (in -v mode)

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!

EDIT:
I also tried without the graphic card installed
I also tried with only 1 RAM module (8GB)

I read now that El Capitan does not support i7-7700 and GTX1070. Is it true? Shall I try then installing High Sierra instead?
Correct, Kaby Lake and Pascal hardware is not supported on El Capitan.
You will need macOS Sierra 10.12.6 or higher.
