no problems with the new extreme4 gen3 only the older boards have problems
Dont you remember when it restarts it self for no reason.
No.
Mines never done this.
I ahve a standard ASRock Extreme 4 Z68 board and can't speak highly enough of it. +1 for ASRock.
For info not had a single problem with it. My last board was an ASRock too, very happy. Good support and fats downloads fomr their website. Always found Asus downloads very slow and their support pages slow to respond. And before anyone says anything I'm on 50meg!
You must be lucky but i take it your using a discrete video card now instead of the Igpu ?
Are you using a discrete video card if so you wont be affected.
There was a period of time (3-5weeks'ish) from selling my GTX295 to getting my GTX570 where I used the IGP for everyday tasks and it still was fine.

This is another review for the Asrock

The board proved average in our video encoding test too, before struggling with our multi-tasking test. Its score of 1,385 in the latter was one of the poorest we’ve seen and dragged its overall score down to an underwhelming 1,887. Gaming performance also proved to be merely average, as the Extreme4 clocked up a minimum frame rate of 73fps at stock speed in Arma II, which is around 2fps behind quicker boards such as the Asus Maximus IV Gene-Z.
At these settings, the Extreme4’s performance improved dramatically, although it was still the slowest LGA1155 board we’ve tested. As was the case at stock speed, the Extreme4 performed well in the image editing and video encoding tests but its multi-tasking performance was a letdown, dragging down its overall overclocked score to 2,628. Gaming performance also improved after overclocking but, as with its 2D results, the gain wasn’t enough to really make the board stand out.
