HP Broadwell Envy K

@RehabMan I can't seem to boot using clover
Here is a video of the crash:

(Skip to 0:58 to see the final lot of information before it crashes)
Just incase its to hard to see in the video, I think this is the kernel panic information

Then sometimes it will crash like this:

(Skip to about 1:22 to see the final lot of information before it crashes)

Also attached my clover folder

Attempting to install OS X El Capitan

Processor: Core i7 5500U 2.40GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 850M 4GB (1080p)

Moved off-topic post to separate thread (guide is for Haswell, you have Broadwell).

Did you set DVMT-prealloc as required?

Just found out about that before but I am getting this error:
error: can't set variable using EFI (error: 0x000000000000001a)

Do you think if I try downgrade my bios that will be fixed?

Going to earlier BIOS may help, or may not...

@RehabMan Yeah that didnt work, still giving me the same error.
Is there another way to do this or another option around it?

There is the minStolenSize patch, but it will likely not be stable.

There is also another method for setting DVTM-prealloc which involves editing the corresponding efivars binary from Linux.

@RehabMan Looking at this thread (http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...-gen-i7-intel-hd-5500nvidia-geforce-gtx-850m/)

This guy has a similar laptop to me and he said he patched AppleIntelBDWGraphicsFramebuffer. But I don't think I can do that till I actually have the OS installed. Is this correct?

And is there any tutorials on here for those things that you suggested?
and do you think editing the efivars would be more stable?

The patch you need is in the plist from my guide, but disabled. Disabled patches are covered in post #2.

@RehabMan I am unable to test this for a few hours as I am at uni, but if I remove the disabled line from plist it should boot without needing to do anything else to the bios?

EDIT:

So if I add this to my plist


<dict>
<key>Comment</key>
<string>Enable 96MB DVMT-prealloc, 0x0a2e0008</string>

<key>Name</key>
<string>AppleIntelFramebufferAzul</string>
<key>Replace</key>
<data>CAAuCgEDAwMAAAAG</data>
</dict>

It should work?

Or are you talking about this one?

The minStolenSize patch....

The 96mb patch you refer to has no use on Broadwell (it and ig-platform 0xa2e0008 are for Haswell).

Disabled patches are covered in the guide.

Never use a text editor to edit a plist. Always use a plist editor (read the guide).
