Z390 Taichi Bios 1.80 problems

New Taichi Z390 build, built 12/17/18 two months later started freezing, keyboard dead, mouse dead, display black, had to push the reset button to get the PC back. Read quite a few posts, noticed something I had not done after adding new devices, video card, memory, switching M.2 ports, Clear the CMOS. It's something everyone does, right? not me and when I did I did it wrong, it's more than pushing the clear button on the motherboard, unplug the power completely after shutting down the computer. Doing this fixed my freezing, PC ran for 5 days non-stop, before CMOS clear it wouldn't run for more than 24hrs. Cleared CMOS, then updated BIOS, 1.9 working without fail. I had read another post where software install would fail because a DVD/Blue Ray drive would be the cause of the failure. I had the same problem, after clearing the CMOS, no install failures.

Something is wrong with 1.8 and 1.9 still. When ever i connect an NVME (1 or 3, havent tried 2), the booting takes at least 1 minute more, its even faster to boot into a sata ssd (as long as there are no nvme plugged).

I'm guessing "Adjust the NVME Hardware TPM Encryption" messed something up with the NVMEs.

Very interesting thread, specially for me, since building with a Taichi Ultimate.

I just assemble and havent seen much issues with 1.8, but im not using a NVME yet, just assemble it outside to see if everything was working before going inside the case.

Wondering if others have updated to 1.9 to see if its running good wish NVMEs? and if MCE is available again?

I bit the bullet. Everything works fine for me. Userbenchmark new high scores.

Was anyone brave enough to try the new 1.90 update? If so was the issue gone?
