My mobo is a the ASUS Maximus V Formula. with GTX 670 GPU. i7 3770K chip.
While I have a some PC experience I am still fairly new to Apple platforms. So if some one could help me and it explain as they would to a new geek. I would be truly thankful.

Most everything is working actually more than i though would be working.. Sound is working and Single Display is working well. I can not get the second display to work however. (VGA through DVI adaptor- second display)

Also when I installed Multi Beast Everything installed with out problems except for Boot Options ( I narrowed this down by installing each driver one by one) It just reads Install failed contact software company. I assume this is important as now every time I Boot now it goes to a screen with a bunch of code and says my computer must be shut down and instructs me to hold the power button down. This did not happen until I installed the Chimera from multi beast. I assume it has to do with the Boot options not loading however????

Also some thing else on a side note My two Disc drives open evertime 10.8.x boots. ??? lol
Any help is much appreciated.. Thanks.
 
which multibeast options did you choose.
take a screenshot of your multibeast options
 
Here you Go thanks for looking..

The only reason I don't have the boot Options selected because when I reinstalled with out because they are not installing is just reads

And I didn't install Chimera this time either because it give me the error message about having to power off my computer with a bunch of code, everytime I start up. I will install once I figure out whats wrong thanks for the help
 
what happens when you select userdsdt by itself
 
I have the same mobo and cpu but i have the GTX680. I installed easybeast and graphics enabler = no from multibeast and mine boots fine. The only issues that i am having is getting my front i/o panel to work and usb3.0., but i haven't tried a second screen yet. Thats the next stage for me. Hope this has been some help. Hope you get it all working fine soon.
 
Hey have you got everything working yet because im doing a similar build (660 ti is different) and would like to see all of ur muiltbeast settings for the board
 
update:
Well I am planning on getting a new display.. the second, display I have is VGA and I am adapting it with a DVI adapter. I think there may be problem with the VGA. I don't know why I didn't think of this before.. The MoBO is connecting with the Graphics card just fine.. It is the adapter I think. I will keep you posted.

As for everything else.. I have sound the only other thing is I want to add a Bluetooth adapter USB. I don't need the WiFi since it is a Tower.

And for some odd reason I cant get the Chimera to load correctly, I am still having to use the Flash drive to get into the boot screen... I would love some help on this. Its not that big of a hassle but I would like it to be more convenient than having to pull out the Flash Drive (from the install) to boot Mountain Lion.

I have dual displays.. I am trying to get both working. I have the main one working (HDMI). Do you have Multiple displays? like i said in my update I am getting DVI display. So hopefully that takes care of it..

Would you mind post an screen capture image of your easy beast selections?
