Today, I had to reset the BIOS with the CMOS pin just to get it to post.

Once it posts and loads windows, it runs great and I can do a "reboot" with no problems, but as soon as I shut it DOWN completely, I have to go through this ritual of "reset" over and over to get it to post.

Any ideas?

Yes i have seen a similar issue!

Has nothing to do with RAM.
When ACC is enabled and tuned(hand tuned?) to best stability together with a high overclock you get POST issues with the board and PCIe issues with add on cards.

Try to disable ACC and you might see your problems go away.
Sorry but it seems ASUS has still alot BIOS issues to solve.


For example my issue was that mostly when i turned on the computer for the first time it would not post, just startup for like 3 seconds then shutdown.
But impossible to powerup again. I had to switch off the PSU everytime and repeat until PC posted, sometimes i had to do it 5 times.
