OK, so F4 didn't solve anything for me so I went to try F5a on my Extreme - now I've got the exact same problem you described in your previous post. Clearing CMOS (which I've done 3x or 4x now) does NOT fix it for me and I simply cannot boot into Windows now. I even went and reflashed my BIOS back to the last good one for me (F4m) and now my computer is completely useless!

Can someone either post a link for F4j or email it to me?

This really, really, really sucks. This board has been a really big headache for me ever since I got it!!!

Every time I reboot, blank monitor screen, could not hear windows load either, just freeze on blank screen but with computer running. Each time I rebooted, had to turn off short time (hard restart) +/- clear cmos. I downloaded again, flashed again (thinking bad flash even though no error message), but same thing. Then panicked that my mobo crapped out. But reflashed all way back to F4j, working fine again now. F4 would not even reboot correctly with all stock/auto.

Anyone else tries let me know what happens...but if you get a blank screen with rebooting and cant get out of it, clear cmos works. I am thinking whatever "fix" they did to the dual bios or S3, my computer did not like.
