Don't bother with Windows Startup Repair - it doesn't address anything related to the problem furthermore, it may actually mess your system up worse since your system may crash during the so-called 'startup repair,' and you may damage your windows boot files. I have crashed 100% of the time, even with settings that should work. I haven't been able to get the Asus turbo key, nor Asus Core Unlocker to configure correctly through the bios. The display will come back on automatically. It's then important to have some patience and wait 2-5 minutes for the computer to reset itself. When that happens the only thing you can do is reset the bios via the jumper key on the motherboard by holding it down for five seconds (until it starts to blink) and then wait.
If you're using a pci-e graphics card, upon crash/restart (or manual reset to setting that aren't going to work) your display won't bring up picture. The board automatically resets the bios defaults when the computer crashes on startup most of the time. O.S.: 7ultimate 64bit (sli patch since the mobo isn't sli by default) GPU and board Cooling: One mean a.ss desk fan on high (leaving side of case open). Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL I went through days of trouble trying to figure all of this stuff out and figured it's worth documenting, somehow. I had a lot of trouble configuring my motherboard and thought since it's such a popular board, I'd use this as an online log for myself and to help others as well.
