Since I have built this system I've been having boot and reboot issues. Sometimes on first boot the post screen will be blank with just the American Megatrends logo and im having to do a reset for it to boot correctly. If I leave a usb drive in and switch it off then remove the stick and switch it on again I have the same issue blank post screen, I have the same issue if I do a reboot. I was using bios 1502 but was unable to get a clean install of windows 8.1 on due to having to reset every time it rebooted. I've tried 1 stick of memory, switched the pci-e lane off for the second gpu, also switched the lane off for the SSD and tried installing on another SDD via Sata, removed sound card. I have managed to install win 7 x64 cleanly on the Raidr but the blank post screen bug is still haunting me. It will not go past the post screen when this happens. I contacted Asus and they said look at the QVL list for my hardware but I had to inform them I built the system FROM the QVL list. I've been building systems for the last 12 years and I also moderate for Asus on ROG Boards for the last 7 years but this is beyond me.
can anybody shed any light on this ??
