Problem booting Mavericks on Ivy Bridge E, I need help.

[osx86n00b]

Alright guys, today I spent hours trying to prep for my "hackintosh." I made a USB in UniBeast under a Mountain Lion VM. I am currently trying to install Mavericks via USB, but I've no luck. I've tried various boot flags and still I have no luck whatsoever. And after I run through verbose boot my monitor goes black. I don't know what to do now. My detailed specs are listed below:

-Asus Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard
-Intel Core i7 4960x (Ivy Bridge E)
-64gb Corsair Vengeance RAM
-3 EVGA GTX 780s (not in sli)
-512GB SSD
-2x 2tb Seagate HDDs

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Pretty crazy config you have there. Could be this issue: http://www.tonymacx86.com/mavericks...-locked-msrs-hp-envy-15-j063cl-i7-4700mq.html

Or could be that you have 3 video cards plugged in ??

You might want to simplify as much as possible. IvyBridge E (although isn't that Haswell?) is tricky enough without making things more complex. What chipset is this board?

 

[osx86n00b]

Ivy Bridge-E is technically still Ivy Bridge, not Haswell I believe. Motherboard chipset is X79. CPU is LGA2011. Will try the fix you noted...

Have you checked the User builds forum for others who have the same/similar hardware? Most post a "how I did it" section with BIOS settings and MultiBeast settings.

I have now at least booted to a white screen using -x -v -f GraphicsEnabler=No npci=0x2000 USBBusFix=Yes PCIRootUID: 1 Graphics Mode=1920x1080x32 and I don't know what to do now.

GraphicsEnabler= Yes PCIRootUID=0 npci=0x3000 cpus=1 -x -v -f
for Gigabyte PCIRootUID=1
