Subject: Freezing and BSOD Skylake on new z270 mobo
Posted: 30 Jan 2017 at 11:04am

Hello everyone I hope that someone here can help with random freezing and BSODs Im having with my new build. Im not willing to let go of Win7 yet so I paired a new I7 6700k with the z270 Fatal1ty Gaming K6 and Corsair Vengeance 2400 XMP ddr4.

I haven't even had time to play any games on it yet and all I have done is a simple 4.6 overclock at 1.325v. I'm using balanced power setting in OS so cpu sits around 0.8Ghz at 0.764v so temps around 28 degrees so the system hasn't been pushed yet.

My problems are that during power up the function keys on mechanical keyboard don't register so cant enter uefi unless I use an old keyboard and more importantly when browsing or just doing simple things the system randomly becomes sluggish, keyboard and mouse stop working then the system locks up or just BSOD. My build is a day old and already its crashed about 8 times.

Is anyone else here having similar issues on a similar build or do you think its needing a bios update cos I'm out of ideas.

Thanks in advance.
