I'm having big problems with this board.. I've had it for about 4 months and to start off with it was fine no issues at all. Recently (since a bios flash I believe but I can't pinpoint it) its started refusing to boot up first time. I have to boot, it gets to the windows screen and the blue bar just keeps tracking under the icon forever. Then I power it off, back on and it goes in fine.
Now its gotten worse, it never ever goes into windows so I've done a reformat.. it boots ok until I install the chipset drivers then it won;t complete boot. It'll boot in safe mode so I guess its a driver thing. It sometimes goes in when I pick last known good setup and if I do a system rollback it boots in once.
I went for beta 1011, just trying to go back to 1009 and its saying that because thats an earlier version I have to use the dos flash utility.. I hate DOS.. can someone give me a list of steps to follow?
Finally does my problem sound like a bios fault? windows is 100% stable when I get it in.
