So i built new system:

  • ■ Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0 Motherboard
    ■ Gygabyte Geforce GTX 950 GPU
    ■ AMD FX 6300 6Core 3.5GHz CPU
    ■ 16GB Kingston DDR3 RAM
I installed Windows 10 on 256GB SSD and at first it seemed ok. but when i turn off the PC and boot it up again it gets to the windows splash screen with rotating balls loading(it takes about 2-3x longer compared to when it successfully loads windows) then black screen but i can hear the start sounds and notification sounds as if it was working normally.
So after this i press restart button and it shows me that CMOS date and time is not set, so i go in BIOS, set it and save and exit and it goes into Windows normally(with the exeption that the time is set to like 2180 year)
It doest seem to happen on regular restarts only on cold boots. Also i have tried boot log here pastebin and it might be something to do with dxgkrnl.sys not loading
 
dxgkrnl.sys = Microsoft DirectX graphics kernel subsystem. And you had other error too, like the cdrom.sys, and WdFilter.sys. Also I check the asrock site there is not update drivers for win10.
For the dxgkrnl.sys, you may try update the Nvidia GPU driver if you can boot/use the pc. For the other two, maybe try to clean reinstall the win10, usually you will get ride of them.
 

Try to downgrade the bios to the first version but before verify the compatibility with your cpu, with mine fx4300 work fine.

 




I have the exact same problem , Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0 Motherboard , gtx970 , 8 kg kingston ddr3 and amd fx 4300
installed windows 10 on ssd 256 and then problems with shutdowns and reboots ,worked fine on win 7 .I havethe same problem with bios dates after windows loading crashes and i have to reboot 3 times so i get to recovery, choose not to do anything but load windows and loads fine , still dont know what to do. I even updated bios or tried every driver that asrock site has....
 


can you tell me how to do it ?
 
I know it's an old post but I had the same problem with an asrock 980DE3/U3S3 and I figured out that it was the BIOS that caused that issue. I flashed my BIOS from version 1.6 to 2.0 and the problem was gone. I hope this helps someone. Took me about 10 hours to figure this out.

How to flash is described at the asrock page.
