After a new BIOS update Windows boot stuck for ~10-20 seconds and then boots as normal.
Downgrade to the previous version 2201 fixes this issue. Can anyone confirm this?
OS: Windows 7 Ent x64; Chipset and IMEI drivers are up to date.

It does. Actually, it doesnt matter which OS you choose. You can even choose "DOS" or "Other" and it will appear, because OS has nothing to do with BIOS in this case!

OK just flashed mine to 2304 and it seems fine atm.

Flashed to 2304 BIOS, loaded defaults and then set my overclock settings - Saved and rebooted and all seem to work with no issues.

Running Win 8.1 though....!

Did you reboot once? Try some more times!
