In addition to the updated boxes in my previous thread, I am building an entirely new box for video editing based on the GA-Z77X-UP5-TH. I am having some trouble getting the correct configuration. Here is the box so far:
* GA-Z77X-UP5-TH (BIOS F11)
* Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz
* 16GB Corsair Vengance RAM
* Crucial 128GB MSATA drive as boot disk.
* 10.8.4 successfully installed via latest Unibeast 2.0.1
* Configs done with MultiBeast ML 5.3.1
All other connections (USB, SATA, etc.) are pulled. No video card is currently running (see below) and I am working with the onboard video. It is stripped down.
Weird issues include:
1) UEFI Boot does not work.
******************************
Can only get the drive to come up with "Legacy Only" enabled. The new bios on this board is a little off-putting, but I've gotten to know my way around it. Still, it seems like I should be able to use UEFI boot. I tried every possible combo I could think imagine and followed some golden builds as well ( see below). No love. Ideas?
2) Only boots with -x flag
******************************
I cannot get the install to boot without giving it the -x (Safe Mode) flag. I've redone the install three times now, thinking I messed something up in the MultiBeast config. It tries to boot, but just churns away on the white apple screen without throwing an error.
3) Only boots with on-board video
******************************
Every time I put in any video card, I get mixed results, but never a boot. Most often, I get to a white screen (no Apple) with a mouse cursor. All of cards tried are high-end (e.g. Radeon 6870) cards pulled from other, functional ML 10.8.4 installs.
All of this leads me to believe I have jacked up the BIOS, MultiBeast or both. I am way from the box at the moment, but will post BIOS and/or MultiBeast screencaps tomorrow.
I have been very conservative with both, using the following guides as reference/resource:

I know I am close. What am I missing?
Thanks,
