First, I have tried a number of the fixes suggested through other threads I have read and I am still a bit stumped.

Hardware
MSI Z170A-Tomahawk
i7 6700K Skylake
EVGA Geforce GTX1050Ti
G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series 32 GB DDR4 (PC4-17000)
Samsung EVO 850 120GB SSD

I have made these Bios changes

BIOS Configuration
LAN Option ROM - Disabled
Network Stack - Disabled
Serial(COM) Port 0 - Disabled
Parallel(LPT) Port - Disabled
Windows 8.1/10 WHQL- Disabled
Windows 7 Installation - Disabled
Intel Virtualization - Disabled
Intel VT-D - Disabled
CFG Lock - Disabled

I used Unibeast to install Sierra, and that booted fine off the USB drive.

I have tried: nv-disable=1 flag and -v in Clover and I am getting the image attached telling me:
"Error allocating 0x1198e pages at 0x000000
Couldn't allocate runtime area"

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

@zorat, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard or Make/Model, CPU and Graphics Card.
The Rules said:

Add slide=0 kernel flag to the Boot Arguments in Clover's config.plist
Make sure that CsrActiveConfig is set to 0x67 not 0x03 in Clovers config.plist.
 
Brebo, thanks for the advice. I will try this in a few. Just to help me out, would you mind sharing what that does?

I finally got it working. I was editing the config.plist on the drive, and forgot I had the USB still plugged in to the USB port on the back. Thanks.
