Clover doesn't boot on DP55WB

Hello,
as the thread name states I have a problem. I can't boot to Clover menu. I once used Snow Leopard on my machine and everything worked fine, but then I got rMBP. I've installed Win10 on the desktop because I needed it for a few things and forgot about it. Now it still runs Win10 but I figured that I want to make a hackintosh and use it when I'm at home and my rMBP elsewhere.
Anyway, the desktop is kind of old, here are the specs:
Intel DP55WB (updated to the latest 2012/06 BIOS)
i7 860 CPU
GTX260

So when I boot my PC using Sierra USB (made it with the Flash Drive Maker and latest Clover in Legacy) the screen goes black with a blinking "_" for a few seconds, then for a split of a second I can see Clover with a "scanning entries" text and my PC reboots.

Tried various of BIOS settings, tried making USB in UEFI mode - nothing works. Googled a lot. I just have no ideas what to do next - this is why I'm posting, maybe you guys will be able to help me.

Can this be because Win10 is installed on my HDD?

Thank you.

P.S. If I remember correctly, my motherboard doesn't have any USB3 ports and I'm using Transcend's JetFlash 810 USB 3.0 Flash Drive to make a bootable USB drive. Might this be a problem also?

ur problem is a GTX260, many people use kext El Capo or Yosemite

Ok, now I can enter Clover menu, but when I try to get to Sierra Install I get prohibition sign. And the text becomes slightly readable but I guess it says "still waiting for root device" or something. I will attach screenshots.

Ok now I get this error. I guess it has something to do with my graphics. Could I fix it by adding some .kexts to my clover folder?
