Hello,

I'm trying to install Mac OS X on a PC for the first time.
I am using OS 10.8 Mountain Lion on an Intel DH67BL motherboard, with an Intel Core i5 (3750K), and Intel HD Graphics 4000.

When I use my flash drive created from UniBeast, the installer will boot but it will hang at the Apple logo with the spinning wheel. However, using the "-x" argument will get me to the first page of the installer.

However, something has gone wrong at this point. The picture looks clear but it appears "greyed out," which is bizarre. The "Welcome"s in different languages move across the screen and the mouse is functional. But- once all the "welcome"s move to the left, they will freeze. Clicking continue will cause the system to freeze up and the mouse cursor turns into a beachball/pinwheel. This will go on infinitely. No kernel panic or total freeze occurs, but the installer just wont proceed.

I tried this on another computer with an identical CPU and the same reset happens. (AsRock HVS-H61 motherboard).

Any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
