I flashed them last night but have been having the same problem since I flashed the version from Oct. I am getting BSOD's in Win 10 with the "clock watchdog timeout" error when playing intensive games like BF4 and GTA V. The last time I had this problem, with Win 7, it was crashing because of AI Suite. As soon as I uninstalled it my PC became problem free.

I updated to Win 10 a week ago and flashed new Bios and now I am back to getting this error message. AI Suite is not installed and I am not overclocking. Everything in the BIOS is set to "auto" but my 4790k has been idling higher than usual lately (55 degrees when idle in windows) so I am going to check it out and see if maybe heat is the problem. However, like I said, my PC was problem-free until I either A...upgraded to Win 10 or B....updated the Bios. Its either one or the other at this point.

What version were you running that was NOT giving you issues? Can you flash back to that one?

Honestly I don't remember...I think it was version 2012 or possibly the one right after that. I am going to revert back to Win 7 before I flashback older BIOS to see if the problem still persists. I really think its related to Win 10 itself but who knows I could be wrong.

Does this bios repair the fast boot problem?

Quick update.

A few hours have passed and everything works great nothing more to say.

Do you have random mouse freeze when listening music on youtube? I tought that this bios might resolve this problem, or might be realtek driver issue? i have windows 10.

I don't have any usb issues with my peripherals so its entirely possible that it's a driver issue. If your mouse is the only item misbehaving then it could be the problem. Have you tried another mouse to see if it also behaves the same way? Also are you running the windows 10 1511 fall update or the original version? The 1511 update addresses several issues and you can get it via WU or directly using the media creation tool.

Shakerip what fastboot issue are you referring to? I've had issues with it in the past causing issues so I run with it disabled ATM. I would like to speed up the boot process as much as possible so I would like to run with it enabled.
