I've been using this setup since June 2013 without incident. Last night I attempted to turn on my PC and it got past the ROG screen, but the OS/Windows was not being a thing. The motherboard was displaying AE for boot legacy event. But I have no idea how to mend it, let alone what caused it.
I can access BIOS just fine. The only modification as of late was an alcohol-induced install of the 2TB harddrive two weeks ago (and the subsequent removal of a dying 500gb harddrive) and installing the new South Park game from a disc.
I've heard that the Razer Taipan mouse can **** with things upon booting up (this is vicious rumor, but still), and I just added that to my setup after getting it as a gift (I won't admit to buying it myself).
Setup:
- Intel Core i7-3770K Quad-Core Processor 3.5 GHz 8 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770K
- ASUS Maximus V FORMULA/THUNDERFX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
- Samsung 840 Series 2.5 inch 120GB SATA III internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7TD120BW (THIS IS WHERE THE OS IS LOCATED)
- EVGA GeForce GTX780 3GB GDDR5 384bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card (03G-P4-2781-KR)

- WD Red 2 TB NAS Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD20EFRX
