I'll do this. Actually my OS partition is auto imaging every night. It just takes so much time to customize the new install.

People will do this and then post things like "this board sucks and isnt stable" or "Giga needs to come out with a better bios"
Did I blame the board? Not even the RAM. My old 2600K didn't want to do 45@under 1,3V and that was the main reason for replacement. MC rocks, I knew what batch they have in stock and it was much better than mine. So I did it. Was hoping for this problem too... well... It didn't. But seems C3/C6 disabled does the trick so far. Playing with windows power options might help too.
