4 month wait - Eeek.  Still I'm happy to hear it finally got fixed.

I can confirm, this new BIOS fixes the reboot issues.

Although the support from Gigabyte could be better, they didn't really acknowledge the problem from their side.
And I didn't get replies on my support ticket.

Still very glad it is fixed now.

I still have the reboot problem even after updating the BIOS to F7 so I updated to F8a and I still Have the problem the only change is that it happens randomly ,sometimes it boots normally and some times it doesn't, I don't know why ?
My Memory are 2X8Gb G.Skill Aegis @ 3000 Mhz 1.36V XMP Profile enabled.

I had the exact same problem and it was driving me bonkers trying to figure it out.  I can usually find anything on Google but it was nearly impossible to find anything on this particular issue so I was so glad to find this thread.  I updated BIOS from F6 to F7 and now it's perfect.  I wondered at first if it might have been a BIOS issue, but annoyingly Gigabyte mentioned nothing about this issue in the F7 revision notes so I didn't want to do any unnecessary BIOS updates. Thanks to everyone who reported this issue and kept in contact with Gigabyte support to finally get this resolved.

already upgraded the bios to F7a, F7 and F8a, and the problems persist!

After the updates F7 and F8a did worsen the situation!

I feel a few freezes on the windows system, when I move the mouse, and also when I am in games.

chaplinux, your issue might be RAM related, try using just one memory stick. If it still crashes / freezes try the other one on its own.

For the most part this thread is referring to another problem, the motherboard automatically turns on / off after a reboot or when powering on, does this also happen?

If not, I recommend you create your own thread as you will get more attention

1º - F6 Firmware the PC was more stable. although he randomly restarted himself. And there was no screen or mouse freeze. with XMP disabled.

2º - I upgraded F7a firmware and enabled XMP (3200 MHZ). only that instability of the system with random reboot increased. even giving a problem in boot windows corrupting system files.

3º - I made another update for a stable version of F7 firmware. And I formatted again on another HD with windows 10 x64. with Active XMP. the system continued to reboot ... locking or freezing screens and mouse and audio.

4º - Due to this I upgraded to firmware version F8. And the problems of item 3º continued ...

5º - I did the test with memtest86 did not find any error. and did not restart when tested.

6º - Testing with only 1 module of 8GB, and XMP disabled, I felt more stable the system. already when I use both modules with XMP active or not. the instability has come.

[Phroster]

So I tried rebooting about 10-15 times with the new F8a BIOS, and the boot issue didn't occur.

For me with the new BIOS the problems with booting seems fixed.

I think if your system is unstable, that there is a different problem. (wrong CPU overclock voltage or damaged RAM)

I have this reboot problem on my Gaming 8 motherboard. 

I have updated to latest bios but it did not fix it.
