I have a Rampage IV Extreme motherboard with 2 GTX 780ti's. I've never been able to get any installers working on my computer, but I always attributed it to the fact that I had both AMD and Nvidia cards in my computer. Now that I've upgraded to two GTX 780 ti's, I thought I'd give it another go... no dice.

I've disabled secure boot, and I've told the motherboard I don't want to boot into anything UEFI.

I will be posting on the ROG forum as well, but just thought I'd see if anyone had suggestions for me here.

I set the options "nomodeset" and "acpi=off" in the F6 menu, hit escape to close, and hit enter to run the live ISO.

All I get is a black screen with a blinking cursor.

Halp?
