Hi,
I made a mistake on my testing last night - I guess I was distracted. It wasn't the Fan Control. It was the SATA mode settings. If I set it to AHCI, it would do that during setup - Wild guess but it could be because setup was detecting and installing devices and did something to HD controller or something? I don't know LOL. If I have the controller set to IDE, I won't run into this frozen POST issue. If I have it set to AHCI, I will run into it. I have tried a different hard drive and dvdrw to same result. Other than that, after I unplug PC and restart it to complete setup, PC seems very stable. Just got done installing all updates and drivers, and software. No issues. BIOS bug possibly?
