After this bios update my motherboard takes forever to turn on compare to past bios updates. I have vitualization on and I know with that on takes a bit longer to turn on cause it completely shuts off. Now after it turns back on it take a long time to post.

Also, today after a cold boot my computer did not want to post at all! My screen was black and it showed FF. Nothing was showing or posting at all and I could hear my computer trying to start up. I had to hold the reset button to make it start up again.

Also, why in the world does the Classified have to turn completely off when you set virtualization on? I have not seen other motherboards do that for example ASUS.

Getting a bit disappointed in my Classified board lately. I think I am going to RMA my board.

It's not your board man, it's the BIOS updates that need to get up to snuff.  The VT stuff should have been fixed a long time ago, and regressive updates like this one that break S3, cause slow startups, no posts, etc., should never make it out the door.  I realize that they cannot test every possible change, but changing the boot sequence like in this case can have serious implications which clearly it is for at least some of us.  I am pretty sure there are more of us too that would affected, but people (a) don't post here or (b) don't update their BIOS.

Please restore the normal boot sequence in the next BIOS, and if at all possible fix the VT enabling so that it does not power cycle the board every time on every boot.  Finally, if that whole shutdown issue with VTT over +350mV can be addressed that would be just stellar.
