When I try to install Mavericks onto my system, it always automatically restarts after flashing the install screen for about half a second. I have tried using -x -f -v and a lot of combinations of various flags. When using -v, I do not see any errors, although its going pretty fast, and the last thing shown is "Starting Darwin x86_64" and it just reboots itself. Nothing I have tried is able to get me into the installer. It always restarts itself before.

My Specs are as follows:
Cpu: Intel 4670k
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65
Graphics: EVGA GTX 760

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
 
I was getting that for ages and tried a ton of different things to no avail - same result no matter what bootflags, well, sometimes I could make it crash earlier in the process!

In the end just remaking the install USB did the trick. Although I did make the USB manually instead of with Unibeast - I don't know if that affected it. You could also try using a different bootloader to see if that helps.

Had the exact same issue and fixed it by updating my BIOS to the latest version. After that the installer worked like butter.
