[Amandine]

Thank for the answer,
I tried, and you are a genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much, if you leave in France, I could offer you a beer!

At the Clover boot menu screen select your hard drive and press F11 to clear NVRAM - System will restart.

Hello,
A thing I don't understand is, what's the difference between :

-> sudo nvram -c (in terminal)
-> CMD+MAJ+P+R
-> Press start button while the battery is removed
-> F11 selecting my hard drive,

I understand all this combinations can clear the NVRAM, but why only F11 works?

Thank again!

As I see it :
sudo nvram -c clears NVRAM but if it is being emulated then it is restored by EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.
CMD+MAJ+P+R is for real Macs - No effect on a PC.
Press start button while the battery is removed - Clears CMOS but if NVRAM is being emulated then it is restored by EmuVariableUefi-64.efi.
F11 selecting my hard drive - Clover clears NVRAM (Probably actual and emulated).

Now it's clear.

Kanelau is right, you are a Hackintosh master

@P1LGRIM I was hoping you could help me out.

I have this build: (config.plist attached)

GA-Z77X-D3H | i5 3570 | GTX 970 running 10.13.6, which works fine.

But every time I shut down the computer, it automatically reboots and displays "You computer was restarted because of a problem" (The error report at the bottom of this post)

What I have tried so far:

Bios F16
Bios F18g
Bios F18i

applied the ShutdownFix in clover.

in terminal: sudo nvram -c

Tried it with these builds:

MacPro 5,1
iMac 13,2
iMac 14,2

Tried to use the SSDT from this url: https://github.com/al3xtjames/SSDT/tree/master/Gigabyte

But for the love of god I cannot seem to fix this problem...

Your post is off topic in this thread as the previous posters have an issue with a spurious panic report stored in NVRAM while your case appears to involve a real kernel panic.
You should start a new thread of your own in High Sierra Desktop Support.

Thank you, @P1LGRIM. Doing this fixed a long-standing annoyance I had. Now, everything is working as it's supposed to. I couldn't figure out why that was persisting with updates as well, and didn't feel like messing with CMOS.

I'm needing to press F11 upon reboot each time, in order for this message to not appear. Any ideas as to why that may be? Can I invoke it with the shutdown or reset?

F11 clears it out of NVRAM so if it is returning each time that you boot then you may well have a real problem as opposed to a spurious old one stored in NVRAM.

To check look at the problem report and where it says "System uptime in nanoseconds" make a note of the value.
If it changes with each boot then it is a real problem.
If it stays the same each time then it is old stored in NVRAM.
