Issues:
System post time.
This motherboard takes an impressive time to post, approximately 5 plus minutes that would lead me to believe it is locked; however, it always does post eventually.
The code on the the digital readout for this motherboard during this time is "99" which the manual refers to as the super IO initialization. This problem has persisted through a bios update with stock settings. I currently have a stable (so far, week+) overclock to 4.5 GHz. For now I simply wait through the long post time.
Bluetooth
I installed the downloaded software/driver for this BT Go 3.0 unit that has to be manually installed onto the motherboard. The unit provides bluetooth 3.0 connectivity and wifi. The wifi functions even though I do not use it. In the bios I have the unit activated/on. On a fresh install of windows 7 after the bluetooth software suite installed the program won't run. Nothing comes up in windows, task manager only briefly shows the program then closes it. There is nothing related to bluetooth devices in devices and printers area of the control panel.
