Hi guys,
I'm building a PC (dualboot hackintosh) for a friend who needs it for video editing. Specs are as follow (the GPU has 4Go though, not 2Go).

I spent the fucking night (of Christmas) trying to make it work. Everything went well and smoothly once I plugged the usb (following macbreaker's method), erased the drive, formatted it in Mac extended whatever, but then at reboot, once I chose to boot on the SSD, the loading bar would get stuck. -v showed me that it got stuck at the dreaded [IOBluetoothHCIController][start] -- completed. Started looking for an answer, tried some flags (cpus=1, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No,...), and safemode can't do shit. I played with a few options in Clover (graphics injector menu, injecting only nvidia and not intel, smbios, cpu tuning menu,...), then in the bios. Nothing. Switching between DVI and HDMI didn't change a thing. Unplugging the GPU and switching to the chipset neither.

So, I am kind of stuck and I feel pretty desperate. There's another SSD in the computer with Windows on it, it works flawlessly. I also made sure to unplug all the drives before installing mac. I read a few posts about this issue, never seemed to find an answer I didn't tried.
Anyone who can help at any level would be much welcomed.

Many thanks! (sorry for any spelling mistakes, I'm from France)
