before the BIOS update?
Digger
Just yesterday, I updated the BIOS on my Gigabyte motherboard, model is GA-X79-UP4. The update itself was a success, however, 3 times in less than 24 hours, my pc has frozen up on me.
I think it should be noted that this happened 2 times while opening and exiting a game client. The third time was when I was looking at my boot advanced options.
Anyway, I'm under the impression that this is a problem with Windows, due to the BIOS Flash, which may possibly require a clean install to remedy.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why my pc is freezing up like this?
