Hi all!
I am glad, that i am not alone whit this issues.
Got my Gigabyte board yesterday because I hoped that it will be better then the other x99 board i still have but I have now more problemts .
I was not able to install windows 7. In boot every time the loading screen crash and hangs.
Somethins the bios crashes.
I have no installed the F7 bios which seems to work better then all others....
Have also tried to deactivate XHCI in the BIOS but still gotting issues.
Are there any other suggestions what I can do to get the board running stable?

The XHCI is USB 3.0, I doubt that is your problem. I found I had to turn it off to get about 20 USB 2.0 devices to work at the same time.
Be sure you don't have any USB devices plugged in (except for keyboard/mouse) when your trying to setup Windows. Don't try to over-clock it during setup also. Using BIOS defaults usually works best.

I have been doing a crazy amount of troubleshooting as I service many machines with this board. I am thinking there may be an issue with the UEFI and Windows 7 specifically. I have not had any problems with any motherboards or chipsets in the past with this, but it seems to be narrowing down this way.
Could users with this problem possibly check if Windows 7 is installed on a UEFI. The system installs this way by default, so unless you specifically changed the settings needed before installing Windows, it probably is. The easiest way to check is by going to your Disk management.
Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer management > Storage > Disk Management.
On the disc your OS is installed on should have a small "System Reserved" partition in front of it. In this "System Reserved" area, it should say something like:
Healthy (System, Active, Primary Partition)
or
Healthy (EFI System Partition)
Curious if those of us with troubles have this in common.
If you could check and just drop a quick note and say What OS and if its EFI or not.
Thank You
