ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe utilities crashes WIN8 CP!
My 1st of 3 i7-3770K Ivy Bridge systems is up and running. I am migrating from a ASUS P8P67 EVO i7-2600K (doh, I know but I have a home for the SB system). I was able to TEMPORARILY move a clone of the boot drive into the new machine and have it boot, but then things started getting hinky (is that a word?). Lots of crashes, refresh failed and repair failed.
Bottom line. Until more evidence that it is capable, I would recommend that folks do a scratch install of Win8 CP onto any new Ivy Bridge system that includes a new Z77 motherboard.
EDIT:NOPE, no good. The ASUS suite of tools crashes Win8 CP with unrecoverable errors and no chance of a boot. Tried it three times. No luck, back to Win7 where everything works fine. And no, I am not going to bother troubleshooting it. I NEED the ASUS tools for this board and until I see it is working with Win8, I am sticking to Win7.
See You Guys. It was fun!
