[Currently Solved] Wacky Startup and Shutdown

Hey everyone, first time posting, so let's see how this goes.

I created my first clover hack on r3079, and everything has been working. I then fixed iMessage, then decided to update to r3094, and now r3113. This is when things get weird. Ever since these updates, whenever I boot my machine, I now am occasionally able to boot into Yosemite fine, but most of the time I have to press the space bar and select "Boot OS X without caches" or the system hangs at halfway through the loading bar. Is there anywhere to forgo this? I've tried rebuilding my caches multiple times, and nothing seems to be working. On top of this, sometimes when I shutdown, my desktop doesn't actually shut down and reboots itself, and I get an error message when OS X boots saying there was a problem with shutting down and the system restarted itself. Can anyone help with this?

Additional Info: In my BIOS I have all of the lower Advanced CPU settings disabled, such as EIST and C-States for stability of my overclock.

At first look your Clover config list seems not very well configured... Post details of your hardware (in your signature, too) — this way is far better to get help.

Thanks for the reply! I've updated my details, so you have a little more to go off of. In terms of the config, at this point I was almost guessing at setting in the Clover Configurator to figure this out.

The file is in regular boot, try without cache if it is needed, rebuild cache with kext wizard.

I put it in my EFI folder and it worked perfectly on the first try! Didn't even have to do a cache rebuild. Could you possibly explain to me what you did to change things around? I looked through it in the Clover Configurator, but I don't know what half the stuff means  :whistle:

 

*Side note: Am I good to disable Verbose mode?

 

EDIT: Actually, one small issue. I can't switch between audio devices. As in whichever audio system is plugged in on startup (Headphones in front or speakers in rear), that is the only audio I can use unless I reboot. If I pull out my headphones, I can't switch back to my speakers, and vice versa.

Hey, so I got the image that I usually get when my hack starts having problems with booting. Sometimes the Bluetooth error isn't there, and sometimes there's a USB issue, but the sound assertion and graphics are always present when this happens. Is there anything you could tell me that would make sense?

Disable your nVidia card and install with the HD4600, then enable nVidia by installing the web drivers (there's a topic how exactly to do this).

I figured it out! At least I think I did, as I haven't had any boot problems since. I ended up installing Xcode to get the command line tools to properly install themes. Once that was done, I downloaded a theme and applied it to NVRAM in the Clover Configurator, all of my problems went away, and the system is running flawlessly. I hope this is the correct solution, otherwise I'll check out the ones you've posted.
