Did anyone find a fix? I’m also getting cpu and memory change from startup. I’m on bios 2.10 I believ



Yes, Eleet X1 was causing the issue for me. I simply disabled it from starting up with OS. Also other monitoring software like HWiNFO64 etc can cause this issue.


I really wish EVGA would spend a few minutes on fixing this, i have never user HW info, only eleet, thought it had gone away but it came back, I'm going to disable eleet and hopefully my RGB stays as is. I have to say I am highly disappointed in this board, I've been using evga MB's since the 780i days and never had any problems until this board, it's got me looking for another MB at this point, this thing is just to buggy. Would be nice to see EVGA chime in on this, they used to have great support and respond to issues quick, now not so much. 
 



It's a minor inconvenience and there is no need to be overly dramatic. To say it would only take a few mins to fix is dismissive. Eleet X1 could be having issues with BIOS, UEFI, TPM etc. and be overly complicated to fix, who knows and you shouldn't assume as much. To condemn a whole company over a minor bug, bruh...

Bruh, I've been buying EVGA since the early days of eVGA, and when you pay a premium price for a "premium" product you expect it to work as advertised, if I want to deal with " minor inconvenience" then I would've paid way less, but I didn't. For EVGA to not make a peep about this, and there has been plenty of post about it, is concerning, if it was a one off thing that would be different but I have noticed problems with my keyboards and a PSU. At one time when you bought EVGA branded products you knew it would be problem free, now not so much.

So I've had this board since march, and have also had this issue from day 1, happens multiple times per week and im finally sick of it. Is the consensus that there is no fix? For me in particular it wakes my computer out of sleep to restart in the middle of the night then stays on in bios with the error message saying x y z thing has changed or checksum error. Its specifically annoying for me because I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I have to bust out an ancient wired keyboard to get out of the bios.

The consensus is EVGA's Eleet X1 is causing the issue when its set to start up with OS. Also there could be other issues causing your problem; memory compatibility, XMP profile, HWiNFO software enabled to start with OS, Intel extreme tuning utility, or maybe the blue tooth device is triggering a wake-up which conflicts with EVGA bios causing bsod. It's very difficult to determine the cause when you give little info; what is your hardware specs, bios version, OS version etc.

Another program mentioned by other members, that cause this type of issue: hwinfo64 
 
As far as possible Boot conflicts go - Do not have Any software start on Boot.  Then add one program (per re-Boot) at a time & see if issue happens

Seems all of this has carried forward to the Classified Z790 as well.
 
I mostly get a 50/50 shot of CPU has Changed, Memory has changed, or both together. But I've had these (all at once):
> CMOS Checksum Error
> Memory has changed
> CPU and memory have changed
> VMD Control setting has changed
> CSM settings has been changed to enable for legacy graphic card
 
I changed the battery like tech support told me to do when I submitted a ticket. That didn't do anything, as I suspected it wouldn't, it's a brand new board.
 
What is super irritating, is apparently this issue goes way back, and they just default to "change the battery" instead of admitting they have a problem across multiple bios, multiple product.
 
They want me to check to see if the board is shorting out on something, but that doesn't make sense, because it doesn't happen on EVERY boot up, like a short would cause it to do.
 
I can't find any info if I'm running HWinfo or not, how do I find that out?

Do you have EVGA ELEETE X1 software installed? If so disable it from starting up with OS and any other overclocking software (intel extreme tuning utility for example) from booting with OS.

Yes, I removed both Eleet X1 and Intel Extreme yesterday. I came home tonight after work and cold booted, no force to bios! yay!
 
Now I need to find an LED controller for my bequiet AIO, because X1 was handling that, and now it's not working correctly.

You can keep Eleete X1 installed just disable start with OS.
