I rebuilt my hackintosh with the GA-Z77X-UD5H and an i3570K based on information from TonyMac. To my elation I was up and running fully in 2 hours. However I have several minor issues I am not sure how to correct.
1) Disk utility gives rainbow wheel and never opens.
2) USB3 disks will not mount, although other USB devices in the USB3 ports work like mice or thumbsticks. Of course I can't use disk utility to see if they are working and a partition is the issue.
3) Periodically if the system sleeps it will wake with no video. It always does this if it goes to sleep at the logon screen.
4) Clock resets if I boot into Windows
Can anyone help?

I had several issues getting Multibeast 5.0.2 to work correctly. I kept getting "the installation failed", so I ended up having to run it over and over and install different items each time. I discovered that the problem had to do with the way that Chameleon was installing. It kept installing the file Extra/smbios.plist but the boot customizations wanted to write to org.chameleon.Boot.plist. So to get around it I created the org.chameleon.Boot.plist manually:
This is the sum of the remaining Multibeast settings:

I also had the issue where every reboot, whether or not the boot disk was using UEFI or Legacy BIOS mode I would get this error printed 4 times before booting correctly:
Which was corrected when I changed XHCI mode from 'Smart Auto' to 'Auto' in Bios.
