Alright, not sure if this is the right place to put this, but since an ASUS is here, I'll just put it here.
I've been having major issue with my computer with freezing and unfreezing of the OS. It usually occurs when I am surfing the web, watching flash videos, or just watching videos with windows media player, but it is almost completely random. I have done everything I can think of to fix this problem:
All drivers and bios is up to date
Full reformat
Different hard drives used as the OS
Different video cards
Switched the ram slots
Used different ram sets
I am guessing that it is time for a RMA?
Hello*edit* Also last night a new problem came to light. The computer would freeze up on at asus startup when the computer was just turned on, with the boot_device_led on.
Hmmm, if the CPU needs tweaking / fiddling to operate in a supported / validated mode,Or the CPU memory controller is not very strong and needs over-voltage to run the frequency.
Something important turned up !!It is possible the memory controller is weak. On a sidenote you should update to the latest UEFI just in case you have not (it may help).
Other than that not much I can suggest - you'll have to debug as best you can and then decide what you'd like to do to suit your requirements.
B85M-G BIOS 0904
Improve system stability.

B85M-G BIOS 0904
1. Improve system stability.
2. Support New 4th-Generation Intel Core Processors
3. Before using the new Intel 4th Gen Core processors, we suggest that you first download the
BIOS updater for new Intel 4th Gen Core Processors and then update the BIOS using this tool.

When you said "you should update to the latest UEFI" did you just mean to update the BIOS?The processors that update eludes to have not been released yet. It's an ME update that's required to make them work.
I say "BIOS" in the general sense (Basic I/O System) not in the 16-bit IBM pre-boot environment.1) I meant to update UEFI - you may still know of it as BIOS.
Well, I now have the latest Management Engine firmware (v9.0.31.1487) available for my platform,2) The ME update is for new processors primarily. How it affects your CPU I do not know. Technically it should not.
Does it happen in 3D mode? Go play some games.I've been having major issue with my computer with freezing and unfreezing of the OS. It usually occurs when I am surfing the web, watching flash videos, or just watching videos with windows media player, but it is almost completely random.

For clocking RAM, good base voltage settings in my experience are:
RAM voltage at its rating (usually 1.65 V for high performance RAM)
System Agent (VCCSA) voltage: 1.15 V to 1.25 V
Specifically memory overclocking requires a mix of VCCSA, VCCAIO, and VCCDIO voltages. For clocking at up to 2800 MHz, many chips will need no increases to anything other than the VCCSA. The other two I/O voltages become more important with my retail CPU samples as VCCSA reaches over 1.100 V, and all three are critical when increasing the BCLK, but keeping them as low as possible while maintaining stability is the best course of action overall.
Sorry Raja, I never meant to offend you.Okay, gonna be a bit more direct as we've been going over the same things over and over (there are other people I could be helping):
The advice stands, set VCCIO-D. If I wanted you to change the others I would have told you to. You need to stick with one source if you really want help. IO-D plays the biggest role for DRAM stability on the memory controller side of the system, out of the voltages you mention on this platform, which I why I told you to change it a few replies back. You are at DDR3-1600, you don't need to push the voltage rails as high as those guides are telling you to and given their impact is far less than VCCIO-D (in fact those other rails hardly help at all most of the time), you need to go for the jugular first. Make sense?

Can the Impact DP and HDMI ports pass a DVI signal? Need to connect a 3rd 1600x1200 monitor to the onboard video for a P-L-P setup and the P monitors only have a DVI connection. Was thinking I might be able to buy a HMDI or DP to DVI cable to make this work but understand the signals are different. Just bought a Deluxe but would rather have the Impact for esata and beefier sound.

1) Make sure you are running the latest drivers and UEFI version from the ASUS Support page.
2) Could be some kind of instability or a driver issue - you would need to debug what is causing it.
3) Which AI Suite version? Is the system "stable"? Which components are you using (list all components used please)? Is the system overclocked in any way?

When I go to the ASUS website for the Maximus hero I see two lan options what is the difference between the two and which one do I want since one is 100mb larger?
Intel LAN Driver 72,28 MBytes
Intel(R) Gigabit Ethernet Driver 173,69 MBytes
