System restart loop when trying to install High Sierra from USB

I have followed Corpnewt's excellent vanilla install guide, however I am having an issue in that every time I select my USB installer in Clover the system outputs a few lines of text, ending with: Start RandomSeed End RandomSeed +++++++++++++++++ Then the system restarts.

The weird thing is that I had one successful install but then couldn't get the system to boot without the USB key. At the time I was also trying to update past 17G66 to get Nvidia Web Drivers working. After some tweaking that stopped working altogether and I started again from scratch and now the problem persists.

Any help would be much appreciated.
