[Quasi-Success] GA-Z77X-UP5-TH + EVGA Geforce GTX680
Hello -
I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 sucessfully, and quite easily actually, via the Unibeast USB drive method I read on this website. I created my USB drive by first loading Snow Leopard, purchasing and downloading Muontain Lion and creating the USB drive.
I can run through the Unibeast installation and everything works before doing anything with Multibeast. However as soon as I reboot with the Unibeast USB drive removed the system stalls with a white screen which appears just after the white screen with the Apple logo.
I have run through the installation many times already and tried using Multibeast with several various settings that I found in the forums but the result is always that I can boot after installation only as long as I leave the Unibeast USB drive installed. Interestingly if I remove the Unibeast USB drive, and after the boot stalls, re-installing the Unibeast USB drive will no longer allow the system to boot into the installed Mountain Lion but I can choose the Unibeast USB drive and begin the complete installation all over again.
Leaving the Unibeast USB drive plugged in will allow me to choose and boot to the Mountain Lion installed HDD even without doing anything with Multibeast and everything appears to work although I do not have speakers connected so that has not been verified yet.
My system components are in my signature. I updated the motherboard BIOS to F11 which did not make a difference.
Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.
