Microsoft might be at fault ...  But then again


Gigabyte   Don't put a sticker on the board saying windows 8.1 Ready ..    when in fact it is not quite ready is it

The thing is I'm running that same board.Yes I'm not running a 4820 but the 3820 and not having any problems.

I'll let in on something and I usually don't people this. But I'm with the Microsoft Partners program.

I'm only testing it and at this point in time I will wait till they really fix all the problems with it.

They are already working on the next fix. People are still pretty mad with this OS no matter if it is 8 or 8.1.

I don't know what Video card you are using but if it does support UEFI make sure it is set in the bios for UEFI and not legacy.

This could be the problem that it doesn't support UEFI. I was looking and there is no bios update for it. You could talk to their support about it.

Or the only thing is the bios update that runn3R is posting might help. I know you don't want to try it.

But if the bios works or doesn't work or it does brick the MB Gigabyte will stand behind. Other than that I don't know else to say sorry.
