So i rolled back to 1.30as05 and encountered all kinds of errors - no start menu, no file association endpoints and more joys. I used wre to roll back to a restore point and all I get is a black screen after logging in. Can?�t even see task manager. I?�m now in the process of resetting the pc. Let me tell u, if I have to pull out the x670e steel legend mb for a RMA, an ASRock board isn?�t going back in. I?�m so done with that company. Regardless, I?�m glad it worked out well for you. I?�d hate anyone else to experience what I?�m going through.

That's too bad, I wish I could help but I don't even know where to begin. I'm wondering if something is actually wrong with the Windows installation, but without sitting down with it, I could be very wrong. well good luck, I hope you get it sorted out soon.

After reverting to 1.30, and with a fresh install of Windows, I figured it was a good time to give 3.06 another shot. Its not like I had much to lose at that point. I was able to get into Windows only to experience repeated crashes with a clean install.

I doubt I will attempt another FW upgrade, but if I do I will make sure to do a fresh data backup beforehand. What I likely will do is give it some time, for tech to advance a bit, and buy a MB/CPU combo from a different manufacturer and throw this ASRock board in the trash.

I looked up your memory on the Gskill website, and saw the QVL is only for Asrock Intel boards, the Steel Legend is not listed as compatible . So you may be having memory compatibility issues, I would post a question on the tech support forum for Gskill and see what they have to say, couldn't hurt.
