I created a UniBeast USB and am attempting to load Mavericks on a computer i recently built.

every time i load it up, it gets to a certain point then my monitor shuts off.

ive tried every combination of flags i could find. nothing seems to be working

comp specs are

i7 4770k
Gigabyte z87x-d3h
32 gb corsair vengeance 1600 RAM (brought it down to 8 for install)
samsung 840 pro SSD (2)
GTX 780Ti

im also attaching an image of the last thing it says when booted into verbose

Do you realise that boot flags are case sensitive ?

On your screenshot I see GraphicsEnabler=no but it should be GraphicsEnabler=No


Good Luck
 
Either way, isn't GraphicsEnabler=No already the default with the mavericks install?
 
Tried it again last night with the proper flags. still goes to black screen after the loading screen.

i also tried it with no flags and get the same thing. it loads, no kernel panic, but then goes to black. Im plugged in through DVI cable
 
I got it to install by removing my gtx 780ti.

I plugged in all my ram and rebooted. Working so far.

Plugged the gtx back in and rebooted, back to black screen.

Any idea Wtf is happening?
 
Have you disabled the integrated graphics in BIOS ?
 
This thread suggests booting with :

nv_disable=1



Good Luck
 
Thanks everyone. I'll try all these suggestions when I'm back from work and report back
