first off, sorry i havn't been too quick to reply, had allot of stuff going on
Its just a problem with the X58/A boards. I have had 2 gigabytes in the past, and am using one now. Would get another. Asus I would not touch with a barge pole however. 3 boards, 3 blown.
that just sounds like bad luck to me, ive got to get my computer to last at least another four years before i can consider another mobo upgrade, of which will be for the new intel series of processors. Ill decide when i get there based on what each mobo offers an the reviews on each model
Swap the Board under warranty, still reckon you have the same issue i had with my first Ud7.
my warranty is voided due to the BIOS update, that, and the fact i don't have a spare computer to use whilst mine is out of use...not really worth the hassle, at the end of the day it will work after a few restarts perfectly fine, now i have an SSD when this problem does occur i dont really loose much time compared to when i had my OS on a HDD. I was just letting other people know that even with the BIOS the problem hasn't been fixed.
Does anyone know if this is a specific batch of mobo's that have this issue? is it a particular version? or is it just pot luck? this way people thinking of buying will know as much as possible
