None at all. Windows 7 is probably the most stable and polished Operating System available from Microsoft today although many would argue otherwise.

BIOS 1.04 fixed the USB problem.

You cannot use a 2600k CPU in a Z107 chipset motherboard.

Clear CMOS and return all BIOS settings to default making sure that SATA ports are set to AHCI.

So Should this work for internal dvd and Win 7 install disk? or just USB
Thanks

I always have an internal CD/DVD Combo drive but a USB CD drive should work also.

Try with just one stick of RAM. I think slot #2 is your primary RAM slot but check your manual.
