Hi all,
I've been really happy with the X58 G1.Sniper so far, having used it for a couple months with 0 issues. I made the mistake of trying out DES 2.0. It froze up when I accessed the advanced options--Windows 7 64-bit, so I force quit it. Then, I tried opening it up several times afterwards and had no success. Thus, I got sick of it and decided to uninstall it. Good riddance. That was likely my mistake because I didn't "turn it off" before the uninstallation. I restarted to complete the uninstall, and I have no video to monitor. But, it still posts, and the OS still loads...Great. Absolutely nothing done so far has worked to rectify the issue. I'm using a RAID 10 set up, but thought that fully clearing the CMOS by removing the battery might help --- nope. Now I have no video and no working OS. I know for certain that DES is running still in a stealth mode and causing the problem.
What are my options (because I do NOT want to RMA) to fix this issue caused by DES 2.0. I wish I could use another computer to access my own but I can't =( What if I switch up the hard drives or disconnect the raid and use one from another computer?
And I guess it goes without saying, this program should NOT be used. Stay away!
Thank you!
Edit: Tech support was not very helpful and evaded the whole issue of DES causing instability.
