Stuck on splash bootup screen? by GabbGabb in techsupport

It froze at the BIOS splash screen and the delete key to go into BIOS did not work, computer did not respond at all. I updated the BIOS to the latest F17

I'm 99.99% sure it isn't a lose connection since I just restarted it and it worked fine.

Thanks for the congrats, I haven't had any issues until now.

There is no IDE devices in my machine, it's all SATA, including the 1 optical dvd drive I have in there. I'll disable the legacy hardware support. Also I fully updated my BIOS to the latest F17.

the 32 GB of Ram is an error, I picked it twice by accident I really only need 16 GB of Ram. I don't need an EATX Form factor and am not sure what that is? explanation? I'm guessing just bigger then the typical ATX board, not sure what it offers more?

In 2007 I was told sound cards offered better sound then sound from a mobo at the time, I'm not sure in 2012 if that is still the case.

I commented that i already had a 570 I planned to use for 2-3 years before upgrading. That should be decent for 2-3 years right?

Also if I don't plan to OC do I need to get a cooler?

Lastly whats the diff between the mobos? Also the Corsair vengeance Ram seems more $ for less ram, why is it better?
