Hello, I'm really new to computer building and this is my first shot. These are the specs for my setup, but I'm running into an issue.

Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7 LGA
Ram - Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB kit
Internal Hard Drive - Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
Processor - Intel Core i5-4690
Graphics Card - MSI Nividia GeForce GTX 760
Bare Drive - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM

I tried following the steps on the installation page here using my (hopefully soon to be retired) Macbook Pro. I made the bootable flash drive and ran it into the machine, but it would freeze on either the Apple loading screen or the beach ball. I tried booting it through safe mode and that seemed to get it, I installed Yosemite through that, but now it only seems to work when in safe mode. I tried restarting the system without the drive plugged in and it won't work. I also can't seem to find a boot code to get it to start properly, it will only boot if I use both safe mode and verbose mode at the same time. I THINK installing through safe mode might be the issue?

Apologies if this has been asked before, I tried my best to search around but didn't find anyone else with this problem.
 
All your hardware looks to be compatible so It's likely that you either made some choices in
Multibeast you didn't need or the UEFI may not be set up correctly. Why don't you boot verbose
first and then take a picture of your screen when it stops. Verbose is -v
Post it here so we can see what is causing the KP.
Do not boot in safe mode (-x) when you do this.

Oh good, one of my biggest fears was that I overlooked a detail in the parts being compatible. Hope this is a clear enough phone shot.

Have you ran multibeast?? or still booting from USB??

I ran multibeast after installation and when I can boot it in safe mode I can run the Yosemite icon on the boot screen. If I try to boot the system with the USB unplugged, this is what I get. I'll try to boot in safe mode again to get to Multibeast and see if I can find anything I didn't (or shouldn't have) checked off.

Post the contents of your org.chameleon.Boot.plist so that we can look at it.
It's located on the root of your Hard Drive within the extra folder.

Here you go, I tried going through Multibeast again before this but it's still giving me the same issues. Gonna keep trying going through the specs to make sure I have everything correct checked off.

Re-run multibeast, select only the option "Drivers > System > AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset" install it.

Execute Repair Permissions & Rebuild Caches from Kext Wizard.

Reboot OS X and check the normal booting.

I redid Multibeast with that option only and got Kext Wizard installed and running. I did a simple restart and the booting only gets to about a quarter full and freezes, this is the code when run with -v.

Try booting with GraphicsEnabler=No and see what happens. Make sure G, E and N are all capitalized.
