I just built a new tower on Monday and am having a strange issue that I need help with. Google hasn't been of any help either. When I run either speccy or hwmonitor on a cold boot there are no temperature or voltage readings and none of the gigabyte app center software that interfaces the motherboard will load. However when I reboot in windows it works after the reboot. I updated to the most recent bios and the only things I have changed in the bios are memory clock speeds and timings to match the stock specs of the ram. I also turned off the gigabyte audio led. The parts list is below:

Solution
I was able to resolve this issue by using the powercfg -h off command. Its seems that a fresh boot and drivers makes the sensors work 100% in windows.
