H55-USB3 fresh install spinning wheel

[pecck]

This is a fresh install. I've downloaded ML from the AppStore, used the latest UniBeast for ML.

GA-H55-USB3
i5 650
8GB Ram
Crucial SSD 64GB plugged into SATA3 (blue)

Nothing else is plugged in.

I boot into the gray apple screen and get a continuous spinning wheel, not a rainbow.
I tried -x and get the exact same outcome.
I tried graphicsenabler=no and again get the exact same outcome.
I tried graphicsenabler=no -x and once again I get the same outcome.

The SSD I'm using I had in my Win7 build, I formatted it to FAT32 before using in my (hopefully) new OSX86 build.

I'm connected to my monitor via DVI.

Thanks for any suggestions.

** Update

I tried dart=o (I saw it in another post) and I get the same gray screen with the apple then my system reboots.

So I thought maybe it's the SSD. I unplugged the SSD and plugged in a WD Green 2TB drive.

no flags = same spinning wheel - nothing else happens.

I'm using dvi out from the mobo.

I'm now watching my screen show hundreds of lines of stuff.

Exact same result, gray apple screen with non rainbow spinning wheel.

Tried -

PCIRootUID=1

and

npci=0x2000

I sure wish I could find someone that had my same problem.

I just looked up my CPU, I guess it's getting old. I'm reading that the graphics is "HD Graphics" instead of the newer ones that are HD Graphics 2000 or 3000 or 4000. If I opted for a new and faster CPU do you think in your personal opinion this would fix my problem? It's just if I'm going to spend some money on a new graphics card I may as well as invest it into a newer CPU.

Thanks.

A GFX card was the trick. I didn't need any flags, it just worked. I'll hold out for Broadwell. Thanks
