Asrock P67 Extreme4 UEFI & Drivers thread [Extreme6 & Pro3 owners welcome]

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Hey Ket, I have a doozie of a problem for you...

If I install Win 7 x64 ultimate (normal or SP1), one thread stays loaded at 100%. This is without any driver installs, just a 100% fresh install of the OS.

I've reinstalled 4 or 5 times and this problem has continually occured. Server 2k8 doesn't do this.

Hardware:

cpu: i7 2600K
Mobo: ASRock extreme4
Ram: G.Skill DDR3 2x4gb 1600 9-9-9-24
GPU: MSI GTX 470 Twin Frozr II
SSD: Samsung 470 256gb
PSU: Corsair HX850W
DVD: LG bluray drive

If you haven't already, disable all onboard devices then turn them back on one by one to try and isolate what causes one of the threads to stay 100% loaded. If you haven't installed any drivers for the PCH or anything like that it might explain the problem. As there isn't a issue when using 2k8 it's safe to say the problem appears to be software side.

Yeah, I've installed the intel rapid storage technology driver that comes on the disc.

Is there a better choice? Kind of odd though. Seems like someone else would be reporting this driver issue and not just me.

I"m going through and doing full updates via windows update as well. Seeing if any update helps, then narrow the cause down if it goes away.
