Although it probably won't help a direct lightning strike (like, at your house or very nearby), investing in a whole-house surge suppressor is one of the best pieces of advice I can give, second only to having your important PC gear connected to a UPS that can smooth out those surges as well...

Fair enough. I was thinking, though, that I had no issues previously when this system was built. But when you called out that there were some "old" drivers around, I noticed that even though there wasn't anything in Device Manager not showing a proper driver installed ... I also discovered...

Any chance you can give the specific gory details of this corruption? I'd like to report it -- this software gets used by pretty much everyone who buys a Gigabyte motherboard, so it ought to work properly. That said, there is at least small, non-zero chance that some kind of file corruption...

I disabled the Wireless adapter yesterday while sniffing around. System is hard-wired and has two physical GigE ethernet ports. I had accidentally plugged into the "other" one when I moved it back into my office after the CPU swap so it was getting a DHCP addr instead of the static one I had...

Drivers should all be the latest -- I went to the website on building (didn't use the CD included). Don't see anything newer out there, either (see http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-X99-Phoenix-SLI-rev-10#support-dl). Which driver, specifically, is a 2013 driver? (And just because the...

Well that didn't take long. Enabled verifier, crashed immediately on reboot at the screen before the login prompt. Memory_management error, though, which is different BSOD than I've seen before. It also panicked without any mouse or keyboard input, so imagine this is a driver being loaded and...

Super helpful -- THANK YOU for taking the time to poke at those. That gives me some pointers. I will enable the driver verifier and kernel mode dumps and see what the next crash brings. To your specific questions: MEmu is an Android emulator and I guess it has its own hypervisor layer. I...

This one has me stymied and losing sleep, so I'm putting a request for help out there... New high-end rig built in August 2016 performed flawlessly and then in January didn't come back after a shutdown to move some external cabling. Mobo went back to Gigabyte, they reported no issues and...
