Clover Can't Boot Windows, Crashes w/ Drivers

Hi!

 

I recently switched to Clover from Ch*mera/Chameleon and am struggling to get dual boot to work.

The two OSes are on separate GPT hard drives; Clover is installed currently to the Mac hard drive but not the Windows 8.1 drive. I also have the UEFI version of the Windows 8.1 installer on a USB 3.0 flash drive.

 

OS X boots fine with little to no issues (only thing not working is ALC892 but I have an external audio interface), but the problem comes in when I try to boot into Windows.

 

First of all, I can't boot into the Windows 8.1 installer from Clover. Every time OsxAptioDrvFix causes an error with "more blocks allocated than requested" or something like that, which is very weird. And I can't disable the driver because it's necessary for my board.

 

To boot into the installer, I have to go to the boot devices selection of the BIOS/UEFI before Clover loads. I also discovered that installation was impossible when other hard drives were connected, so I had to disable those ports as well. Once booted into the UEFI USB installer, there are no problems.

 

Then once the install finishes, I can boot into Windows fine from Clover. But the moment I try to install something like the GeForce drivers it freezes up and forces a reboot. Any subsequent attempt to boot Windows from Clover results in no video output from the GPU and only half the drivers loaded (keyboard caps lock light doesn't toggle). Again, when I select the default Windows bootloader instead there are no problems at all.

 

One exception still stands, and that is the startup options menu that comes up every 3 failures and Safe Mode that I am using to type here. Since Safe Mode boots fine, this issue seems to be a driver causing a system crash on boot, but I have no idea how to fix it.

 

Can any experts help me out with this? Thanks!
