Hey guys,
I just put together my first hackintosh, components:

Xeon E3 1230v3 3.3GHz
Gigabyte GA-H87M-HD3
8GB 1600MHz Ballistix
MSI GTX 660 (Gaming OC)
CX500M
Seagate BARRACUDA 1TB
TP-LINK WDN4800
SyncMaster 2043NW (VGA to DVI)
I've installed 10.9.3 and win 8.1 (DUAL BOOT). Windows works fine but
the problem I'm having is that after the first restart (after installing Mavericks and Multibeast) I try to go into 10.9.3
and I get this: https://vimeo.com/77603321?utm_sourc...ODI1NDAwNjc%3D

After the texts the screen just turns off and the computer keeps running (when I do a restart the same thing happens again)

Please Help, I Have been trying for two days now..I'm starting to get hopeless.
 
What happens if you boot with -v -x?
Does it do the same if you boot with MultiBeast and select the OS X partition to boot?
Suspect a problem with the gfx card and nVidia drivers.
 
How do I know which drivers to get though?
 
Give this commands a try at the boot prompt; (hit the tab key to go into boot prompt)

-v GraphicsEnabler=No PCIRootUID=1 maxmem=8192

-------------------------------------------------------------------
What does this commands means

-v is verbose mode

-x is safe mode

GraphicsEnabler=No is you have specific Nvidia Graphic product model card ...

Do I need GraphicsEnabler Injection or Not?

GraphicsEnabler=No

All ATI/AMD Radeon 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, Rx-200
NVIDIA GeForce 640+, 7xx, TITAN

GraphicsEnabler=Yes
ATI Radeon 4xxx
NVIDIA GeForce 9xxx, 2xx, 4xx, 5xx
NVIDIA GeForce 610-630

The latest versions of UniBeast and Multibeast for 10.9 have GraphicsEnabler=No, IGPEnabler=Yes by default.

If you have a device that needs GraphicsEnabler=Yes, you will need to type this at boot screen in order to install.

PCIRootUID=1 means your Gigabyte is using AWARD Bios. If your motherboard not using AWARD then
it must be PCIRootUID=0

maxmem=8192 means you have 8GB RAM on board.
