Apple flash and reboot on MSI H81M-E33

I am trying to install Mavericks on my MSI H81M-E33 board but it keep crashing right when the Apple logo appear and Verbose mode doesn't stay long enough for me to take a picture of the error even with the timer flag. What do I do to get around this problem?
Tech Specs:
Intel Core i5-4430
4GB 1333mhz Kingston Ram
Nvidia GeForce gtx760 (reference design, made by Zotac)
500GB HDD, win 7 installed,
320GB HDD, where mavericks will live
MSI H81M-E33 (legacy+UEFI mode, VT-d disabled)
USB to Enternet adapter (on board Enthernet port not working)

Could be Haswell instant reboot problem (your MSI likely locks MSR 0xe2).

Sorry for the late reply, I got passed the problem with an update to the BIOS, it is now freezing while loading the setup before I choose my language. I am going to be busy in the forseeable future so I won't be able to fix this problem for a while, when I have the chance I will try booting it in safe mode (-x boot flag).
