I even tried without a graphics card installed and I still get fault codes in the 92 region. All related to PCI-E operation. Sometimes I will get into the bios successfully for 19 times until the fault code appears, sometimes just 8 times, and sometimes I get the fault code immediately. I already updated to the latest 3.2 bios version. There are 2 PCI-E molex connectors which the manual says should be connected when 3 or more graphics cards are used, so I didn't bother to connect these as this would clutter the setup more with cables. And I only use 1 grahpics card. I also experienced that when I got in the bios, after a minute or sow the bios starts to get very slow drawing on the screen, I can see the redrawing of a horizontal line going down. It is definitely not RAM, CPU or graphics card, as I have this build twice and already swapped all these components and the problem still persists. Problem appears in both setups. Any idea what this issue might be? A bios firmware issue?

An intermittent problem like you are having is the most difficult to diagnose. 

When you do have the POST failure problem, is there anything at all that seems to be consistent when it happen? Such as, it happens when you restart the PC from Windows? Or does it happen on a cold start, from a shutdown state of the PC?

Do you use the Restart to UEFI program that ASRock provides?

The UEFI/BIOS display slowing down is very unusual, have you experienced that with every UEFI/BIOS version? Do you recall about how many different UEFI/BIOS versions you've used with your boards?

I know you don't think your memory is involved in this issue, but memory problems can cause PCIe issues. I'm suspicious about the PCIe POST code shown when no video card is in the board. 64GB of memory may need a bit more DRAM voltage. You could also try setting MRC Fast Boot to Disabled, and Memory Test to Enabled. That will slow down POST, which is already slow on any X99 system, but worth trying.

The following UEFI/BIOS options are found in the Chipset Configuration screen in the UEFI/BIOS. You may or may not have set these from their defaults, and I cannot say configuring them will fix your issues, but they are worth trying:

Above 4G Decoding: Set to Enabled.

PCIE1.2.3.4 and 5 Link Speed: Whichever PCIe slot you use for your video card, set it to Gen3.

PCI-E ASPM Support: Disabled by default, if you have it enabled, try Disabled.

Moving on, do you use the Fast Boot option, in the Boot screen? This option is really Fast POST, and causes an abrupt POST process, that can cause side effects. Try disabling it if you have it set otherwise.

Have you used other video cards with these boards, and still experience the same issues?

I see there is a very new driver update for your video card from Nvidia, not that it should make a difference in the pre-OS environment:

So ..... You've built two identical systems and only one exhibits this?
