The other 4 rigs I setup were all Z77 Extreme4, never an issue. I only bought this one as it was $50 cheaper with rebate from Newegg. I figured what harm could going AMD instead of Intel be. Great thought, lol.
Come on man it has nothing to do with AMD or even ASRock. Faulty mobo, BIOS, bad batch, etc. you know... I've had more trouble with Intel boards personally and I'm not blaming them either because most of the time it's a badly programmed BIOS on board or just that "shit happens" kind of bad luck on my part.
