I installed El Capitan successfully (on the Asus H97M-PLUS) using the Clover Guide on here and everything seems good except for one thing: about once a week (I think it's every 12 boots - see below) the Mac SSD won't boot. I get the boot screen and apple logo but the progress bar goes all the way to the end and stops.
To get it all working again I have to reinstall Clover. When I reboot I get stuck at the ASUS logo and nothing works at all (can't even get into the BIOS). So then I disconnect the Mac SSD (Samsung 850 EVO) and it reboots into my other SSD running Windows 10 without any problems. After this I switch off and reconnect the Mac SSD. This time I can boot directly into El Capitan until it happens again.
While I was doing this I noticed in the BIOS under Boot Drives that there were at least 10 separate entries listed for the UEFI Mac SSD Partition. There was only one UEFI entry when I first set this up, so I didn't create these multiple entries. I'm wondering if maybe a new entry is being created every time it boots and when the listing reaches (the maximum?) 15 entries it can't create any more and stops booting?
