ASUS Z77 Motherboards - Official Support Thread

Sure thing, as soon as I get home/registered on their forums

Don't bother, they already know, and are quoting possible Intel MEI corruption.


Oh wait, that's what I posted several pages back as a possible cause, too. :p


So yeah, they know. Use pre "Win8" bioses for overclock testing, new bios for running those clocks. For me, this begins with VGA crash, but other users with NVidia vga have similar problems. Also, other brands other than ASUS have this problem, but it is only on Z77 boards, I can make same crash in X79 ASUS board, no problems with BIOS getting "stuck".


So, to further the conversation anyway, did you use Win8 on this Sabertooth board?



The more we can identify this problem's cause, the better chance it gets fixed permanently, but I don't think blaming ASUS for this problem is realistic. Just be sure to re-flash BIOS as soon as you notice problem, as if you do not, you could be like me and have a really broken board. :p
