Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte forum.

The first thing i would suggest is to make sure that you are using the latest BIOS version available. If it needs updating then make sure htta you use QFlash not at @BIOS to run the update.

It is also possible that there could be an issue between the two BIOSes. Once you have updated the BIOS to the latest version try synchronising the BIOSes so that if it does revert to the Backup BIOS it will have the same version.

Pleased try not to shout when you are posting as it makes it much harder to read. ;)

I would also advise uninstalling EasyTune.

Why uninstall easytune DM, it's a great tool to check and test things with?

Please DO NO RUN 100+ runs of LinX, you will kill your CPU or heavily degrade it, 10 or so runs is plenty 20 at a max if you must.  

Here is how to make the backup BIOS match the main BIOS

IOH core 1.44 is not needed and is for sure way too much for standard stock cooling.   Please try 1.14-1.2, that should be plenty

Hi Lsdmeasap,

I have just learned to mistrust all these bundled programs and utilites as they often help with one hand and break something with the other. I do understand that it can be usefull though.

Ahh ok!   I just asked cause it sounded like you had a bad Easytune experience or something  ;D

Ya, it's a fine program, and I could never do without it on a Gigabyte board.
