So I got everything running with my new build a few days ago using the x79 classified. I originally had no problem getting into my bios. Today when I tried to get into my bios to start overclocking, this is what I saw:
 

 
Anyone ever seen this?
 
I can still boot into and use my computer just like normal.

    After poking around for about an hour, I realized that I had plugged an HDMI cable into my 290x. I unplugged it and restarted and it worked! With the HDMI cable unpluged I can get into my bios without a problem.
     
    Unfortunately, now my rear usb ports are not working???

    Moved the slider to a different bios. So far so good. USB ports working and I can access the bio.

    Sounds like a corrupt BIOS. Load up the latest BIOS in windows and then shut down. Boot up in BIOS #2, then when in windows switch the slider to BIOS #1. Proceed to flash the BIOS and it should now work

    I've updated the bios from 2.04 --> 2.06. So far I haven't had any problems. Hoping that it stays away!
