Does anyone have the Gigabyte Z790 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard and have you had any problems with it? I am trying to decide on a motherboard for my pc build with an i7 13700k, 4090, and 64GB DDR5 6400 cl32 ram.
I am leaning toward this motherboard due to it having realtek lan instead of intel but I have read a few bad reviews on gigabyte boards. Thanks!
I've been building since 1999. This is by far the worst motherboard I have ever installed.
The BIOS crashes constantly (flashed all the updates as they were released). I just had it crash three times in a row requiring a full reconfig of all the settings. At the time of the crash, I was typing something in discord.
If I try to play New World, it crashes my PC so hard the BIOS resets.... I can't even play that game at all.
On one of my flashes, it reset my Windows install, which for some reason Microsoft couldn't find attached to my account and I didn't have my old Windows 7 code (since I upgraded from 7, to 10 to 11 with out buying a new install). So Microsoft forced me to rebuy a new key.
This is becoming very frustrating and I don't even know how to start to try to figure out what is going wrong.
Thanks for reading.
