Hi guys, I've been searching and reading online guide for days but can't seem to find a solution for this problem. Any help would be appreciated!
I have a prebuilt ASUS M32AD desktop, specs as followed
Board: Asus H81M-E/M51AD/DP_MB with latest firmware (0802)
CPU: i5-4460
iGPU only
Mem: 8 GB

I created the installation UEFI USB with Unibeast/Multibeast. The USB can't boot to clover menu. I get blank screen with a single under score sign. This same USB can boot other boards fine (MSI H81M-P33, GA B85M-DS3H-A).

I attached screen shots of BIOS settings from the Asus board below.
I tried to boot a uefi/gpt only Ubuntu installation and it worked fine with this same settings. Windows 10 installation usb also boots fine.

Anyone has a suggestion to fix this?
 
Hi, im having the same problem but on a asus P7P55D - LE did everything right but getting stuck on the same blank screen with a single under score sign..

I already did a installation last year on my asus motherboard and it went fine... on El capitan...

Thx.

I suggest you make a new UniBeast USB using a brand new USB stick.

Do you already have an OS running UEFI? If so, then make UniBeast as UEFI and when you run MultiBeast select UEFI. That will update the EFI boot file on the disk, probably Windows on SATA disc 0.

The way I fixed it was to re-run Clover. But I was able to boot through the USB stick. I run Legacy instead of UEFI since I want the OS (Windows10, Linux Mint MATE, OSX El Capitan) bootloader on its own drive.

I've tried 4 different USB sticks, same result.
I had Windows 10 UEFI and Ubuntu 1604 UEFI running on it, each OS on a separate SSD, but I disconnected all SSDs and just plugged in a brand new SSD just to install OSX El Capitan. Couldn't get to the Clover menu.

I am not sure why you had to run Legacy instead of UEFI. The board clearly supports booting from UEFI. I installed the Ubuntu with the UEFI USB stick fine with the BIOS settings from the pictures I attached earlier.

Did you find a fix? I cannot get it to work.

Because I had installed Windows 8.0Pro in Legacy mode. I installed Linux Mint 17.3 MATE in Legacy Mode, with /Home on it's own drive. Linux had no problem adding Windows to its GRUB bootloader... I then decided to install OSX and since my other two drives already had their own boot loaders I would have needed to completely wipe out both OS drives, Windows and Linux to be able to install OSX in UEFI. In the mean time Windows 8.0Pro was upgraded to Windows 8.1Pro which was upgraded to Windows 10Pro...

I have no problem hitting my F11 key and selecting which OS I want to boot. It only takes a few more seconds. If you think about it it is not really any longer than going through Clover or Boot Camp where you have to select which drive to boot into. Besides, if you read the installation instructions I would need to go through extra gyrations to get UEFI working correctly on the ASR Z97 X4: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-asrock-uefi-boot-fix.174726/

ASR has come out with a new BIOS update, though, that supposedly makes UEFI more compatible.

With as much tinkering as I do, the last thing I need is to munge up the UEFI boot loader and partition. And if the disk drive with the EFI boot loader dies all the other OSes die with it since I won't be able to boot into another OS.
