Hi there,

I've been having problems with unexpected reboots since upgrading to Win 10 a few weeks back...
I'm assuming the issue is BIOS related since I updated to 3.30 after upgrading to Win 10 as recommended...
The main reason I believe it's BIOS related is that I've tried falling back to Win 7 and that didn't solve the issue...

What I know:

- If I leave C-State set to AUTO on BIOS, tipically everytime computer should go to sleep mode, it reboots instead...
- If I leace C-State disabled I keep getting "VGA driver recovered" messages and, evetually, computer freezes (with image) and I have to manually reset...

Here's the setup:

Z170 4PROS
i7 6700K
32 GB RAM
Windows 10
BIOS 3.30

Any help on getting this sorted out will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Yjr
