Thanks for any help

Try to change the Ref, set your CPU Termination to 1.200, then set CPU Ref to .785 and MCH Ref to .800. Then bump up the CPU Termination to 1.360. Ref are linked with the CPU Termination.

Some have tried the F11 bios and found it is less stable compared to F9. Most are using F9
