I had a stable system running 1.30 BIOS and Windows 1803. Decided to update to 1.80 BIOS and now I get a boot loop with a Windows Blue Screen MEMORY1 INITIALIZATION ERROR message. Windows will eventually try to repair but repair attempt fails. I downgraded back to 1.30 but I still get the same message. Any ideas? I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with CSM or Secure Boot? Or clear BIOS? I don't want to mess with too much and make the problem worse.

" rel="nofollow - Rule #1: never update BIOS on a good working computer, specially when running RAID.
This poster got his failed RAID working, read the thread:
