Please note that if you own one of Gigabyte's LGA-1155 7-series chipset motherboards you need to upgrade the UEFI before you pretty much do anything else. Many of these boards are shipping with an early UEFI and this can cause kernel panics.
This should be the first thing you do if you're experiencing kernel panics with these boards.
If you only have OS X installed, then you need to find an unarchiver that supports 7-zip compressed files, as that's what the Gigabyte auto extracting files are archived with. Stuffit Expander will do the job among others.
Instructions on how to make a bootable USB drive if needed are available here http://macmanx86.blogspot.com/2011/07/c ... ck-on.html
To reiterate, this applies to all Gigabyte Z77, H7 and B75 motherboards, as well as the Q77 if someone for some reason owns one.
