If you are getting kernel panics, then you may have problems with CPU incompatibility, a bad graphics card, incorrect Bios or Multibeast settings. It's not possible for me to tell from your explanation. The first thing that strikes me is that you have a Sandy Bridge CPU and an Ivy Bridge...

Simple. Easy. Use Time machine restore. Install your USB Bootloader on computer, reboot, select your USB rather than HDD. Rather than reinstalling OS X software, go up to the menubar where Disk Utility is. The bottom entry is "restore using time machine." Select a time from just before you...

I'd say to restore from Time Machine from just before you made the change. That gets your machine working.

Go up to the Apple symbol in the Menubar, click on "About this Mac." A dialog box opens, so click on "More Info... " at the bottom. A different dialog box opens, click on "System Report" at the bottom. Scroll to the bottom of the report to "Logs." In the middle of a list of logs is...

Are you fixed, Kripto? We have identical systems except you have the K processor. Here are my settings. I have a smooth running system, but it took some time and effort to get me there. IN BIOS, hit function key F7 for an optimized build then make the usual corrections: xHCI=auto...

I hadn't replied because I have a Gigabyte board. You probably have a setting wrong in BIOS, but I don't know what the settings should be, You need to do some research. Go up to SEARCH bar at the top/ right hand side of the page. Type in "Success X79 Sabertooth and 3930k." You should get...

Let's verify something: you are in the Desktop, but not in SAFE MODE. Right? Safe Mode messes up plenty of things, including video.

He's talking about changing a setting in the BIOS. These settings should work for you.

If you really can't see the BIOS screen, Then you need to shut down the computer, unplug the SATA cable to the drive and remove the boot stick. Boot without anything and this will force you into BIOS. Make your changes as I listed below, save them and shut down the computer again, reinstall the...

It looks like the OS is not seeing your Graphics Card. The problem is that you don't have on-board graphics on the MoBo, right? This is most likely BIOS, DSDT or MultiBeast issue. Since, I don't know your hardware, the best I can suggest is to use the SEARCH space in the upper right hand of the...

This not an uncommon problem when someone accidentally upgrades his OS via the App Store. You can only safely upgrade software if you know your OS is up-to-date. I'd suggest a Time Machine Restore from just before you tried to upgrade. Put in your USB Boot stick and boot to the install page...

Now, that we know that you have a hackable system, let's run some tests to see where it hangs. This will give us a clue as to what is wrong. At the Chimera screen, select the drive and hit any key. A dialogue box will open up below. Type in: -x -v PCIRootUID=0 You will get a short list of...

Do you know someone with a Mac who can download Install OS X Mountain Lion and then run UniBeast to install it into a thumb Drive? That's the way it's done.

As my sidebar and bottom quotes state, I have a Ga-Z77X-UD5H and an i7-3770. But we have many similarities. I can't explain why my Unibeast builds are so large. I had one, supposedly, 8Gb Kingston Thumbdrive come in at 7.6 Gb after formatting, so UniBeast 1.7.0 failed. Here is what a...

It's UniBeast that puts Mountain Lion in the Boot stick, not MultiBeast. Follow the guide. Download Multibeast from TonyMacx86. It's for finishing up the job. Are you sure you have a good UniBeast USB boot drive? Look at the Install.log in Console. A successful Boot drive will have these...
