So many issues...
1. When I hit "+" to increase the clock ratio in BIOS, it immediately starts counting up and doesn't stop until something like 127 (Read: 12.7 Ghz)! At first I thought this was a problem with my keyboard, but it isn't. Everything goes wonky from this point as dialog boxes flash in and out. Trying to exit without saving becomes a struggle. Likewise, directly typing a number into the multiplier makes the menu goes berzerkers.
2. Exiting without saving displays error: "BlInitializeLibrary failed 0xc000009a." It does this every time and I have to reboot. Saving and exiting displays no such error message.
3. Changing the vCore lowers my clock to 800 mHz. It basically forced me into saving and resetting as this was the only dialog box that would flash (again with the flashing dialogs!) onto the screen,
4. The only reliable method I can find to overclock is the "CPU Upgrade," which, incidentally, shows all options as being "i7." I selected the "i7 6600k 4.4 gHz" option for my i5 6600k cpu.
5. The Gigabyte app asked if I wanted to install a firmware update (was it for the bios? something else?). I had just flashed my bios to the latest version already (f6), but I accepted anyhow. It downgraded my bios to f5, which I then had to reflash back to f6.
Everything described above happened while in BIOS, except for the app initiated BIOS update. I feel like I'm forgetting something, but these are definitely the standout issues. Not to mention that the board wouldn't accept my 2400 ram (Error 55) and I am awaiting 2133 ram to replace them with (It is currently running with a single stick of 8gb 2600). Should I return this mobo?
Otherwise, Windows 10 and all of my other components are functioning as intended. I think all of the relevant specs are mentioned above.
Thanks.
