3301 BIOS on PRIME X299-DELUXE - major system instability

Hello,

This morning I upgraded to latest 3301 BIOS on my PRIME x299-Deluxe board. Did the method with the USB stick, wiped BIOS settings, etc - and then started to notice system instability. My graphics (RTX 3080) were flickering (the screen would blank randomly) - and then eventually just clicking the start menu rebooted my whole computer.

Has anyone else experienced wonkiness with this version? I downgraded to 3105 for now - which I think is fairly stable, if my research is right.

I run the X299 Prime Deluxe ii with a 9800X and with the new bios at stock settings it was fine but my previously time tested oc settings were not stable at all, I really had to go to town to stabilise a lower oc than what I had previously run prior to the new bios.

I've not experienced the issues you have but the new bios is not as stable as previous versions with regards to overclocking.

I have no problems with 2202 und 3301 Bios. All other Bios'ses between had problems with cold boot (memory detect error).
