I highly doubt my problem is board related, but Windows has been freezing on the splash screen where it says "Starting Windows" about 80% of the time. I have reinstalled the OS and it was OK for a little bit, but the issue came back after a while (maybe I corrupted something while I was OCing)? After multiple boot attempts with freezing, I cranked it back down to 4.0GHz from 4.7GHz it was able to boot OK after running CHKDSK on my RAID1 storage array. Had a graceful shutdown and it would not boot before I left for work this morning after 5+ tries of freezing @4.0.
I'm going to try rolling back to a backup I made yesterday when the freezing issue had only happened once when I get home.
For the record I have disabled ASMedia onboard SATA to rule out some devices and have the latest Catalyst and Intel RST drivers, and all the latest updates. Flashed the latest 0711 BIOS as well. I'll update tonight after work.
Any other ideas to try?
