Sounds like a bad flash, this happened to me as well with the 1801 bios. I just re-flashed after setting optimized defaults (F5) and everything has been smooth ever since. I did have to remake my profiles though. No biggy.
That seem to fixed it. I was having some issues with the system making a slow boot, First it would hang at the F2/DEL to go into BIOS with Q-CODE LED Showing A2. Which IDE Detected. I am using all SATA, and non of my BIO was set to IDE. Come to find out it was my secondary HD, when unplugging it. I also noticed it mention in the manual to have your Optical drive set to sata 5&6 and you other devices in 1-4. So for 11months Ive had my seconday HD in one of the 5&6 slot and my CD in the of the 1&2 slots with my SSD. Not sure if the newly Bios was causing that issue setting a rule for me to follow, but after switching that around, the 3min post ended.
Now I dont know if this is an issue, or maybe just paranoid. But when i shut down/restart my system I am noticing FF on the QCode LED comes up. But its super fast, and it starts going through a bunch of other numbers.. FF C7 79 62 99 61 Then when it boots into windows its set at AA. So FF means Failure Found. But i dont know where. It only does it when i shut down/Restart the PC.
