Z68x-UD7-B3 and windows 8 won't boot
« on: October 25, 2011, 03:33:56 pm »
Has anyone had any luck booting windows 8? I can install with no problems but once I re-boot it goes through the bios and then gets stuck on "loading operating System".

I can install on other OEM systems and boot with no issues.

  My guess is the caffeine converters at Gigabyte will have to come to the party with some code (BIOS)....remember this is supposed to be fully UEFI compliant!

I have got it but so far haven't had time to install it on a machine. Bound to be a few problems at the moment though.
