Hi all,
have a problem while loading 10.9 installer from USB created by guide (Unibeast 3.0.1)

GA-Z87X-UD3H
i7-4770
GTX-650

Loaded Optimized Defaults
Peripherals > xHCI Mode, change it to AUTO
Peripherals > xHCI Hand-OFF, change it to ENABLED
Peripherals > EHCI Hand-OFF, Change it to Enabled
Power Management > Wake on Lan, change it to Disabled.
Vd-T disabled for this processor,

Used many combinations of keys for install and nothing helped me
Any try its a black screen but with GE=Yes its filled gray after Apple logo

Any thoughts? Thank you!
 
Make sure that the boot-loader from the USB Drive is what you use to launch the UniBeast/Mavericks installer

GE=Yes, seems to suggest a Graphics Card issue

Have you tried the boot flags:

IGPEnabler=Yes (or No)
GraphicsEnabler=No (or Yes)

Are you updating from Lion? Mountain Lion?

Is your display connected via the GTX 650?

tried all this combinations Including IGPEnabler
Im installing clean Mavericks and cant get installer, all i have now is a gray screen after Apple logo
Display connected via GTX650 (VGA)
 
If not updating an existing version of OS X, how did you get the Mavericks installer? I ask not as an indictment or accusation but it may have a bearing on your current difficulties.
 
Would you be able to run in verbose (-v) mode and take a picture of the screen when it panics/freezes?

I have an older Gigabyte motherboard LGA 1155 for my sandy bridge core i7, otherwise I would happily give you all the specs/settings that work for me on my MoBo and with Chimera.

You might really want to focus on the "Init Display First" setting in your BIOS, if you don't have an option for PEG, perhaps you have one for PCIE or PCIx16?

This will help to ensure that your GTX GPU is defined as the primary graphics card during the initial boot sequence, hopefully avoid any conflicts or confusion will on-board Intel graphics.
