Greetings all, I am a new user.
I have a big problem with this news motherboard.
I I7-6700K Intel cpu, bios parameters are all in default (bios reset), no overcloking, at work or stress test, restarts enters bios, and does not recognize all of SATA drives connected.
I have to reset and starts recognizing sata drives.
Another issue that is frequently randomly, reset in Windows 7/10.

I tried to change ram, video card, I tried the motherboard out of the case, but it's the same problem.
I used professional power supply Corsair RM1000
Bios updated latest version

You may depend on what?

Thank you all

Most people in the forum claim that the most reliable BIOS version for Maximus VIII mobos is 2202. You say that you are with the latest version so you can think of flashing back to 2202 to resolve your problems. Look in this forum or on the Internet or check in the manual how the BIOS flashback is done.

Thanks, configuration :

Cpu I7-6700K
Ram Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 16 GB
Vga Gtx 580 Gainward
Power Corsair RM1000

SSD Kinkston

Cpu Cooler LC-Power LL-CC-120

Test another components, same problem.

Thanks, I installed the 2202 version, tomorrow under stress test.
I wanted to ask, the exact steps to configure BIOS without overclocking ?

Thank you

2202 tried with bios, same problem.
It was freeze after 10 minutes with stress test AIDA64

Sorry, you have other tests to suggest?
I can not solve, even with other components.

Thank you
