Z170 Gaming-ITX/ac update failure

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I flashed BIOS 1.7 when it came out and found that it would no longer boot into Windows - giving WHEA_uncorrectable_error. The only way to boot to windows was to change Vcore setting from auto to fixed 1.35V 
Today I noticed version 1.8 has replaced it. This flashed OK but on reboot will no longer POST - the M.B is now completely dead with just the fans running. I worry that the CPU is also gone because I have seen this restart failure before and then I needed to RMA the CPU as well.

So take care with these updates !
