Won't Boot with extra 8gb RAM module

[PatrickTheTechGuy]

The laptop I am using is an Acer Aspire R 15
i7 7500U
12Gb ram. (4gb soldered on + 8gb ram module)
Intel HD 620

I was able to get it to install after taking out the 8gb module, but I can't use a 4GB laptop for anything that I'd like to. When I put the module back In, it gets stuck here. I tried 3 memory drivers. OsxAptioFixDrv, OsxAptioFix3Drv, OsxLowMemFixDrv. None seem to get it through. Any ideas? Thanks.

using smbios for a desktop is wrong, get a laptop one from the guide:

Same verbose output. I'm using the newest version of clover 5117.

I went ahead swapped out the separate 8gb of ram with a different model. It still gets stuck on the same verbose output. Of course when I take the 8gb of ram out, it goes straight through to the install page.... Any more ideas? Thanks

It looks like i wasn't paying complete attention. It's still stuck but slightly different verbose when I use a different memory driver.

Updated SMBIOS with Ram info. Still Stuck on the verbose above. On Clover 5118 now.

This is the same motherboard as in my laptop with a similar issue. https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/solved-unable-to-boot-installer-on-acer-r5-571t-stuck-at.262005/
