Thanks for the response and link. I watched the videos you posted and was wondering if you tried removing the power cord from the PSU for 5 seconds then re-connect it and powering on. I had the same results you had in the video. I would retry powering on the PC and Dr. Debug LCD would display "00" consistently and not boot. After removing the power cord then reconnecting it, my PC runs fine. I just have to set the power options to never sleep (which I don't want to do) and the PC has been running for over 24 hours now without a glitch. I am going to swap out the motherboard with a new one this weekend to see if I have the same results. I will keep you posted.

	Sounds like you got further than I did with this board although the behavior you describe is what is currently going on with my newly built rig. I have not been able to get to the BIOS yet at all as no successful POST and getting past the Dr. Debug error codes (currently 99). I have already replaced the mobo and processor. I have not yet been impressed by the Extreme 7+ board and question its build quality. I handle builds with kid gloves and use anti-static mat and arm-band and take special care with all builds. I have never had so much trouble with this. I am not sure these forums will yield the answers you seek either as it is a collection of great help here but you may need to try to go to ASRock directly if you need quick answers as no one is on your clock here. You might also have a go at Tom's Hardware too to spread out for some perspective. I have info about my predicament that is similar at this thread: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1989&title=drdebug-error-00-on-z170-extreme6 I will be watching for responses to this thread since mine seems dead and maybe have some insight as to go further...right now I have $2K in wasted hardware sitting around for a month. Good luck, Dubhead

	I recently purchased an ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ motherboard from MicroCenter in Parkville, MD on 2/29/2016. I have installed the motherboard in a Corsair Graphite Series 760T Full tower case and populated the motherboard with the following components: · Intel Core i7-6700K LGA1151 Unlocked Desktop Processor · Corsair 2x16GB/32GB DDR4 2666MHz Vengeance LPX RAM (X2 for 64GB RAM) (All 4 DIMM slots are populated) · Samsung 512GB V-NAND SSD 950 Pro M.2 (X3 in RAID 0 using PCI-E lanes) · Asus 12X Blu-Ray DVD Burner · ThermalTake Air Cooler for Intel i7 · Corsair CX750M Modular 750 Watt ATX Power Supply · ASUS PCE-AC68 802.11ac Dual-Band Wireless-AC1900 PCI-E Adapter · NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 Video Card I have successfully installed Windows 10 Pro x64 on the RAID0 M.2 SSDs. After about 30 minutes of using the PC, the PC froze and I had to force a shutdown by holding the PC power button down. When I started the PC, the motherboard Dr.Debug LCD displayed 00 and would not boot. The only way I can get the motherboard to get past POST is to remove the power cord for 5 seconds then plug it back in and power up the PC. The PC then successfully boots into Windows. I updated all drivers from ASRock?�s website and the PC has not froze since, however, whenever the PC goes to sleep I have to force a shutdown. Also, each time it boots the Dr. Debug LCD displays different codes everytime, i.e., 00, 99, 9C??As long as I remove the power cord then plug it back in and start the PC it boots back into Windows fine and runs great. I even configured the Power Options to never put the PC to sleep and it has been running fine for 24 hours. After the 24 hours I reboot the PC gracefully and the Dr. Debug LCD would display a random code and not get past POST. I have read ASRock forums and this seems to be an issue other people are also having. Is this due to a faulty motherboard? I purchased a 2 year replacement plan through MicroCenter and am bringing the motherboard back this weekend to swap for another one.
