Sound more like you may gave a settings set wrong in the Bios to cause what you are seeing.
Maybe you should open a New Thread about this and complete the template file located here: X99 Troubleshooting TEMPLATE  **READ ME BEFORE POSTING**  Remember to also post the template on your Thread.

 
I will create a thread with the template as suggested.  Thank you.

I made the post as suggested, and has been up for over 3 weeks and over 100 views.  The only response suggests this is a BIOS bug.  The possible way I can confirm/deny this is if anyone else has a micro 2 with 2 x 980Ti's.

Really basic questions here.
 
In the BIOS update instructions for Windows Installation, the precursor step is to load default BIOS settings before booting into Windows to do the update. The BIOS update instructions for BIOS Installation instructions do not include the load defaults step. Is that an oversight, or can we skip the load defaults step if doing the BIOS Installation method.
 
The instructions do not make mention of how we get out settings back if we go through the load defaults step. Can we reload those from saved profile? Will the profiles be retained on the system after the BIOS update or must we export/import them to a flash drive?
 
 
I have been putting off the BIOS updates for way too long and need to get caught up (I am running a 1.x version). At the same time, i have a largely stable overclock setup and really do not want to lose it!

You will lose and clean all the saved profiles once you update.  You will start at the default state as well.  Your best bet is to write down the existing settings or take a few cell phone shots like I did but its also possible that the same old settings might not be compatible with newer BIOS if some calibration changes were made.  I've been lucky enough to see the same settings used.  I had to tweak them a bit but overall it was fun and have been updating to every new BIOS just fine.
