Just upgraded to the M7 x299 board and a 7800x.
On all reboots unless I clear CMOS Im getting a boot hang with debug code 60.
I eventually got windows installed and computer is fully stable gaming.
Something in the initialization is going wrong.
I`m using sleep function now which works fine but would like to resolve this without a workaround.
I`ve tried reseating memory and CPU and even one RAM stick at a time. unplugging all drives except for boot drive.
I have the latest bios installed
Also have used default settings all making no difference.
Im using a corsair H115i atm,
Any advice would be welcome, thanks
 
Thanks Chaos
I've tried everything but just can't afford to buy new ram. My current ram is worth 500 pounds!
I'll buy new ram at Xmas at the earliest and relegate present ram for my HTPC z170 mobo.
in the meantime I'm hoping for a bios fix and it's something I can live with thanks to the cmos button. A life saver!
 
No unfortunately. I just gave away 32gb 3200mhz Dominator ram to a friend 6 months back. Sods law always prevails!
TBH I would love the g skill equivalent so I'll get that when I can
 
Wow. I never would have guessed it!
I'll turn off windows 10 option when I get home.
Thanks for the tip on leaving the fast boot option off.
I've already checked the pins. They are perfect.
In the meantime I've ordered 4 x 4gb 3600 mhz dominator ram as well.
 
YOU ARE A GENIUS!...How much do I owe you???
Man youve saved me a ton of headache. Problem has totally gone. Ive rebooted 3 times using restart and all is stella!
Just goes to show the bios is flaky...
Honestly PM if you need anything. I have possibly some spare parts from a z97 buiild if you need them.
Thank God for people like you!

I'm thinking it must be a raid issue as I also have two ssds in raid 0 but not m.2.
I had pretty much given up with so ure my saviour here.
I agree the board is solid although my boot up time is about 25 seconds.
Ive also noticed I'm getting better framerates and Less frame dips in rainbow six seige and battlefield 1.
msi has been my vendor of choice since z97 with better reliability than gigabyte and better support than Asus.
 
Just tried new bios. Sadly no change with whql windows 10 enabled.
However got a nice 1.2v/4.5 ghz OC. Done a few rounds of rainbow six. A full round in battelfied 1 and a few runs of Intel burn test. Solid.
Msi are asking for update with sent bios and full hardware and bios details which I will duly provide.
Really hoping they come up with a fix. At least they are pro-active. Take heed Asus!
 
I registered my motherboard with msi for which you have to create an account. They have a support section on which you can ask questions. Pretty good at responding.

Ive also sent them my settings with my 850 pros in raid.
Btw dont want to go off-topic but noticed my USB 3.0 and 3.1 speeds are 42 mb/s at best- shocking!
Any ideas?
 
Hey just been stabilizing my OC, had to go back up to 1.23v on CPU core and using 1.15v SA voltage (XMP was 0.9). Upping system agent is giving the IMC a bit more stability.
Been playing rainbow six on and off all day- prob done 30 rounds- not one crash :)
Realbench score is 162k
Im really happy with the 7800x/x299 set up. Motherboard is an absolute joy and getting much less frame drops in r6. Used to dip to 45-50 at 1440p, im pretty much staying at 85 fps throughout with a 1070. Core load is evenly distributed so game is well optimized

Sorry for the late reply!

1.First we have duplicated and checked this issue,it should be appeared on all of the X299 MB no matter which brand you have selected.Thus we have sent it to INTEL.And please wait for the solution.
2.If you want to get it now,we can also send you a test BIOS which can fix this issue,but meanwhile,the S3 function will not work.Thanks!

I have to admit, what fabulous support!
I cannot think, that Asus , even for a min would have investigated the issue.
Thinking of getting the test bios....
 
I'll ask for it as well when I get home.
Im Just over the moon msi have spent the time and money revolving this.
Hence I always buy their flagship motherboards and GPUs. I have their z170 gaming x power titanium board as.well which is stellar and is now my HTPC.
