I've been trying now for about more then a week to get Yosemite Installed onto my Custom PC Build. Ive looked through the forums at post with similar builds to mine but i cant seem to get to the installation screen, it either freezes at the apple logo or goes to a white screen with a crossed out symbol similar to that of a "do not enter" sign
I can't get to the installation screen.
I've tried various boot flags with no success

Update your hardware details under Profile (Upper Right Side Of This Web Site)==> Basic Information Section
Because without knowing your hardware details no one can suggest any solution for your issues.

Then boot with flag "-v" and post a clear photo of the frozen screen.
 
Does this help?

Does what help? If you expect any help read the rules, add you specs to your profile so we don't have to guess what hardware you're working with... Sorry but we're not clicking your links to figure it out....
 
Oh i just figured since almost everywhere else i go in the forums do the same
ill update my specs
 
I have successfully installed 10.10.2 with your motherboard. My cpu is 4790k. Remove your graphics card and use the iGPU until you have everything setup.

I use these args to get into the install -x -v maxmem=4096 PCIRootUID=1

After installing boot into it using the same arguments. Install your drivers, then install Nvidia web driver. Then reinstall your gpu.

Change Thunderbolt security to legacy.
