Unable to boot except in safe boot - GA-B75M-D3H on 10.8.2

Hi, I am building a mountain lion box using a similar build to this one:
Moarfish's build - GA-B75M-D3H i5 3570K

Unfortunately I did not pay attention to the CPU specs and purchased an i5 3470 which does not have HD4000 graphics, it has HD2500 so I installed an nvidia FX 380 card which I had lying around but it did not fix my problem

Unless I am using safe boot, the system stalls before the gui starts up, either continually spinning the apple and wheel or with -v booting, just stops and does not report any errors.

Does anyone have any clues? I've been trying and googling for days to no avail.

To anyone else with this problem, see this thread:10.8.2 problem It has nothing to do with the video card. It is the Apple ACPI kext.
