Are you using the iBoot for Haswell CD.

Also remove that GTX 660 video card and use onboard GFX - use DVI not VGA.

Load Optimun Bios defaults disable VT-D in the Bios

Set bios for IGMP video and 64 megs or 32 megs or video ram. in the Bios

Use the boot up switches -v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=No
for first time install

take a pic if you have a panic and post back.
 
I appreciate the help, good sir :D

Got some conflicts though.I did everything you told me to but instead of DVI, I used HDMI. For now, I posses no monitor with a DVI port. Been using the TV for a while with an HDMI cable. Now, i'm stuck at a black screen after I loaded the Leopard with the boot flags you've given me. The TV is not showing any signs that the video input is no longer available or that it has lost connection with the cpu. Is using the HDMI cable the cause of this? If it is the cause, are there any other options aside from buying a monitor with a DVI port?

I'm kinda new to this kind of stuff and I'm dying to run my system with an OS X. I thank you for the assistance you're providing me :D

No the HDMI should be ok...

Slight change in the use of the boot switches...

try this -
enter these commands when you select the boot drive
by hitting the spacebar.

-v PCIRootUID=0 GraphicsEnabler=Yes IGPEnabler=Yes

take a pic and post back...

Still stuck at the dreaded black screen :( can't post screenshots cause i can't take one. :( The verbose does not freeze when writing the codes. It just fills half the screen then the black screen shows up.


Managed to type the code before the screen went black

And I got this

when you built this multibeast you didn't select anything for a laptop ...

If not then are you loosing sync at the TV when the screen changes from scrolling kext to GUI (which we dont See cause the TV loses SYNC.) You may have an indicator on the TV that will tell u of this fact or on the screen.....

If so - power off TV count to 10 then Power On see if you have a GUI screen...

GUI was not displayed after the TV was turned off then on again. Another observation is that the num lock and caps lock buttons do to work during the black screen. Does this mean that the system stopped responding?

I'm currently trying this on a pc. If a monitor with a DVI port is necessary, can I just use a HDMI to DVI adapter as an alternative?

I just remembered, I am currently using iBoot 3.3 not iBoot Haswell. Shall I change to Haswell?
