Solving NVIDIA Driver Install & Loading Problems

7MB VRAM usually means that Inject Nvidia is disabled correctly, but the Nvidia Webdrivers are not installed or not activated.

Look in the root of your EFI partition for a file called nvram.plist

It's there, here it is.

Done it, but again, the problem persists the same.
 
You would need to restart again after the new nvram.plist has been created.
Done, but didn't change anything. Follows the created nvram.plist

Observations :
Does not contain the config.plist that I uploaded for you earlier.
drivers64UEFI contains OsxAptioFix2Drv-64.efi and OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi which is incorrect. one or the other but not both.
You have Lilu.kext , LiluFriend and NvidiaGraphicsFixup.kext in your /kexts/Other folder but they should have been installed to /Library/Extensions on your system disk.

If you can, disconnect your Windows drives while you test.

The kexts were already installed in the system disk too, I let them in that folder just as convenience. Removed the OsxAptioFixDrv-64.efi, but using your config.plist started to cause panics in boot.
Disconnecting Windows drives also didn't change anything. I guess we are running out of options. I will try to reinstall Clover and try again.
 
I will try some workarounds, if needed reinstall and if nothing changes I'll decide what to do. Thank you very much for your help.
