Looks like the installer you're trying to load is not working. Maybe try starting over from scratch, or make sure you're booting into the correct installer. That's about all I have in terms of ideas...
Got a tip for us?

Okay... do you want to run High Sierra or Monterey? Your original post indicated you wanted to run Monterey, but I see you're trying to boot into HS. So BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, try booting the HS installation "as-is" and then building OCLP.
Would another video be helpful for you?
EDIT: Now I understand, since your flash drive died, that's why you're booting into HS... sorry!!

That's really weird. My guess is that OCLP is not working correctly, so you're gonna have to dump the OCLP installation and start from scratch.
When I get home, I can make a video for you. Would that be helpful?
EDIT: OCLP probably doesn't know where the "recovery sectors" for Internet Recovery are supposed to be, so that's why it throws the error... a pure guess, I'm probably wrong.
EDIT #2 - You'll have to put the original GPU in, just an FYI. Because you want to be able to boot normally w/out OCLP.
As I can't help you immediately (I'm not at home right now), see if you can try to:
- Put the original video card back in
- Boot the installation of HS you already have
- Hold down Option right after the chime, and then hold down CONTROL on the keyboard (so the arrow turns into a circle w/ an arrow)—so it will always (temporarily) boot off that installation, rather than OCLP.
- Do NOT build OCLP yet.
- Find another USB drive that you can use to build OCLP to when the time comes.
- Also, don't put the new video card in until you've built OCLP... but wait until I make a video for you to do that
Are you in Recovery? If so, STOP and boot back into your old installation with the old video card. At this point, to me, it seems unnecessary to wipe your hard drive. What are you trying to do?
I have my old GPU in MP 5.1 right now.
I run it and it comes out the same thing I attached, in the video.

Oh! So sorry for the confusion! When you boot it up, do you see a gray screen before anything else?
I just rewatched the video. Lemme make sure I"m understanding... so it's doing the exact same thing as in the video? Booting into OpenCore?
I've had this happen actually. I'll either remove the drive completely or just try holding down option a million times until it actually works... that's about all I've tried to fix the issue.
No, I didn't. However, I did make a video awhile back about trying to fix mine when the original install was corrupted. Take a look if you want to—I'm not sure it's gonna be particularly helpful in your case, but it might provide some information you need.
I'll have a video for you specifically this evening.

Also, take @iModFrenzy 's advice and reset the PRAM and NVRAM... that should help.

Gotta say the video is going above and beyond, great job , hope that helps OP out
Sometimes I'm really bad at explaining stuff, so I hope this is a good enough explanation... I think I hit all the key points!
