They will be on the DVD so if you can borrow a IDE DVDRW temporarily you should be able to install OS X using the DVD.......

@ MegaloDon

When you followed my guide for preparing the nForce USB flash drive OS Mountain Lion installer in Post #1 Part B. Step [8], please confirm that you placed these kexts

FakeSMC.kext
EvOreboot.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
AppleRTC.MLion.Patched.kext
AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext

from the verdant_Mountain Lion_Support_Files_v1.0 folder, into /Extra/Extensions/ on the USB flash drive Mac OS X Base System volume...

Focus on getting OS X up and running in simple VESA mode, i.e. with all NV* and Ge* kexts temporarily removed from /S/L/E and once you confirm that it is running 100% OK apart from the graphics side, then graphics can be sorted out via a patched DSDT.aml file hopefully......

Enabling RAID in BIOS implicitly enables the same essential functionality as AHCI mode, so that is not the issue.

Does your Pandora USB installer contain and hence load the AppleNForceATA.imk64bit.kext when booting..........?

Did you try temporarily disconnecting your SATA Blu-ray writer from the MOBO........?

This is my last post for today......

@ MegaloDon

Using the -x boot flag boots you in Safe Mode loading only the basic Apple system kexts.......

Hope you install OS X Mountain Lion successfully.......:)

@ MegaloDon

You can try booting with

-v npci=0x2000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

or if that does not work, try

-v npci=0x3000 PCIRootUID=1 GraphicsEnabler=Yes

BUT as I said before, read Post #6 Issue 1.......

Also, temporarily disconnect your SATA Blu-ray writer from the MOBO.....

There should be no problem in installing OS X on your 780i MOBO....... but it will be difficult to be of more help because you have not indicated that you are following my nForce Mountain Lion install guide step-by-step for the USB flash drive method......and so I cannot guess why you are having USB installer problems.....

You can also try adding cpus=1 maxmem=2048 to the boot flags.......

Next time you get a screen freeze when booting in verbose mode, post a full screen image showing the boot screen........however I will be offline now for the next 12 to 16 hours......
