Multibeast on Gigabyte z77-UP5-TH

[sfeuerhelm]

Lately I have been having some issues installing all the correct drivers on Mountain Lion. When I boot up the computer it gives the classic apple logo with the loading wheel; however when I am supposed to be met with a login screen I am presented with a white screen and no mouse. I have tried many many times with different combinations of drivers and excluding certain drivers to see which ones are causing the white screen, absolutely nothing (reinstalling ML each time)........ Since the process takes about 30-40 minutes per attempt and I have attempted it more that a dozen times and it has become very frustrating. In my frustration I decided to reach out to the people of the internet who are much smarter than me for help. Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel i7 37770k
Motherboard:Gigabyte z77-UP5-TH
Graphics: MSI GTX 670 PW
Drive: Sandisk 128gb SSD
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1600

Please Help!

I'll take a stab in the dark at this:

I noticed your signature says that your video card is "OC" - Overclocking a video card might pose problems during an install. Also, when I built my similar system I had to use an older VGA monitor attached to the motherboard video output (the HD4000 from the i7 3770K). Once I got the system working I then added the GTX670 into the mix.

made installation system without video card
HD4000 only
then put the card with video graphics enabler NO

Good luck!

That was unsuccessful as I do not believe that is the issue because I previously was successfully at installing everything and achieving a stable hackintosh for almost 2 months, however I got a USB 3.0 hard drive and decided it was about time I attempted at getting USB 3.0 to work on the hackintosh however I must have installed the wrong USB 3.0 driver and it would no longer bring me to the login screen but to a white screen like it is when I re-install the drivers. Also I don't think that the issue resigns in the installation of ML but instead with which drivers I install using Multibeast. Im really looking for the right combination of drivers which will yield a success. Or at least to be pointed in the right direction. Also I was able to get ML up and running with out the Unibeast USB however there were a lot of issues such as when the screen shuts off from 15 min of not being used it will not wake back up when I click the mouse or the keyboard and I am forced to force shut down the computer and start it up again.

I agree with you, it sounds like the wrong USB driver is installed. The MultiBeast PDF says:
"Not compatible with 7-Series LGA 1155 motherboards." - BUT the warning only applies to the "3rd Party" driver options.

This page has some suggestions:

My ML install has the CalDigitHDProDrv.kext installed in the S/L/E folder but this is not one of the options in MultiBeast, I think it's a native ML file.

And Yes, my USB 3 is working, at least on some ports (some work, some don't.... still figuring things out.)
