I'm not sure about before upgrding but 1usmus recommends to clear cmos after upgrading. Its a practice I use every time.

Same hash as original beta bios posted 04/28

One simple setting I found on Asus boards is setting Secure boot options to standard. It's set on custom by default. Makes boot times much faster & system more stable. A simple setting.

Is the final 1101 bios on Asus MB page different than the beta version?
