El capitan is hanging often when i do simple tasks, such as opening chrome or finder (anything where a window i click something in opens). The spinning wheel pops up and the window stays frozen (if its a video, it stays stuck on the frame where the spinning wheel began, etc) until i click a random spot outside the window, such as clicking the desktop. Console gives lines about "gpu driver appears to be hung" ,and other issues about " failed to composit for descriptor". Is this an el cap thing, or something with my clover settings? I have a 280x gpu that was working perfect on YOS.

hey its quite common with El Capitan the first release (10.11.0) bricked my 2009 Mac Pro for awhile and kept me busy for the next few weeks with customer look for the Mac Pro Data recovered and Yosemite reinstalled ha ha. after that is tock a disliking to my PCI-e USB 3.0 card and would kernel-panic and restart then boot to OS but finally its stable at 10.11.2. So you are using a card that is no real support on OSX so it wouldn't be surprising to me that it could been the issue I'm guessing it's a Hackintosh so any number of kext issues or even the motherboard that your using could cause this HDD may need to be checked use "hiren's" for that. so the best thing to do is a clean install the OS wipe and start again if it is still doing it time to look at hardware been faulty or just not been compatible.
