System specs:
Intel Core i3 4170 3,7GHz
MSI H81M-P33 Motherboard
Gigabyte Geforce GTX 960 4GB
8Gb Ram
128GB SSD
1Tb HDD

System description:
Dual boot, Win10 and OsX10.11 on SSD (50gb/70gb), HDD for Windows games. Booting via clover (EFI) partition. Windows 10 - works. Mac Os - has problems.

Problem:
After Mac installation - 1) installed clover 2) clover configurator - (mac pro3.1/inject nvidia), save config to efi partition 3) after reboot installed nvidia web driver 4) reboot, and when the system boots @ apple logo, loading bar fills up very slowly (about 5 minutes) it gets to 100% and stays there. I can use os x only with "nv_disable=1"

Please help, I have no idea what to do at this point.

Firstly, try to disable the graphics injector and/or updating to a newer Clover release if it's not the latest yet.
Secondly, you might want to try to use the Nvidia Web Drivers for El Capitan. Some cards aren't natively supported by OS X and need these drivers to run. Be careful though, since these drivers are considered to be experimental and may prevent you from booting. You can find a guide on how to install the drivers properly on this site.
Sometimes, even a VBIOS upgrade may help, though this is a very rare scenario.
The slow boot process might also be caused by a missing FakeSMC.kext in /System/Library/Extensions.
Make sure you get that checked.

Disabled injector, updated clover. I am using Nvidia Web Drivers for El Capitan.
VBIOS is latest.
FakeSMC.kext is in the folder.
Still does the same thing (slow boot , at 100% stops)

Any more suggestions guys? =)

Solved. Web Drivers from Yosemite were the culprit.

why you said that the web drivers from yosemite were the culprit?
is that you wrongly install the driver?
