ASUS Sabertooth z77 i3770 gtx570

Installed 10.9.1 by using GraphicsEnabler=Yes -x -v

After installation and restart I cannot get in to finish installation.

Tried all boot flags. Any help?

try taking out your video card. use igpu set to main display in bios
use your usb keyboard and mouse with your front panel. (not the back usb i/o)
If you could please screenshot you kernel panics if that doesn't work

let me know if that works

Worked like a charm.

Had to boot into USB with -x and also into installation with -x, but finally got to desktop and installing multibeast now.

Edit.

Installed multibeast and repaired disc permissions.
Still running on onboard gpu
Can only boot mavericks install with "-x -v"

Here is a screen booting with -v

UPDATE:

Everything working 100% now.

problem was AppleACPIPlatform.kext - updated from this post

reinstalled GTX 570, and now running fine with Dual Monitors.

If you wouldn't mind I would like to recommend a couple things. I would look into patching you bios. It fixes a lot of Power management issues with you board you don't have to use null Kext. I recently upgraded mine so I can attach it here. All you have to do is unzip and put it on a formatted FAT 32 thumb drive (do not change the file name because the bios flash with fail) Follow the Video that I linked you. With PPL overvoltage set to disabled you should have sleep working perfect. PPL overvoltage is under the AI tweaking option in the bios. Make sure to Remove null Kext

I also would recommend System Definition imac12,2. I will give you airplay mirroring and your over all performance will increase (better geekbench scores). The last thing I would install chimera on you EFI partition. Just search it on this site and you will find the Guide.

Good luck
