Chris from Intel is helping out with a related issue on another thread. He has the info on my system config and I'm hoping his troubleshooting will eventually address this issue too.

Re: DX79SI - Poor USB3.0 & LAN driver support

I have determined that it is the latest Renesas USB 3.0 driver from the Intel driver page that is causing the following issues:

1. Windows 7 stall on boot-up

2. LAN device unable to start successfully.

After uninstalling the USB 3.0 driver, these two issues are resolved. The problem now is that I cannot use any of the USB 3.0 ports.

Intel, any response on when we can expect a driver that works correctly with your board? I've verified this on a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate x64 install as well.

DX79SI - Poor USB3.0 & LAN driver support

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 06:29:22 GMT

I'm having major issues with the USB3.0 driver support for the DX79SI, and it looks to be interfering with the “Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection”.

The system frequently hangs when loading Windows 7. Once I finally get it to load successfully, I notice that the “Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection” was not able to start successfully. Also, an extra “Renesas Electronics USB 3.0 Host Controller” device appears under “Universal Serial Bus controllers”. That leaves 2 USB 3.0 Host Controllers & 1 Hub in Device Manager when I only remember 1 of each with a fresh install.

Intel, I’d be happy to provide any additional info you need about my set-up. The only new components in this system are the motherboard and processor. This issue happens with previous and fresh installs of Windows 7 x64.

Re: DX79SI and DX79TO experiences

My experience so far with the DX79SI has been very poor.

Won't resume from sleep successfully
Frequently hangs while loading Windows
USB keyboard isn't recognized early in the boot cycle. This makes getting into the BIOS or boot menu difficult.
BIOS would not flash successfully. I ended up having to flash it in Recovery mode by removing the jumper on the board. Then the video wouldn't work, so I just kept pressing enter until it finally popped up.
Boot seems to take a while even with "Fast Boot" enabled. I just see a flashing cursor which stays on the screen for 20 seconds before booting Windows.

I'm not impressed and a bit worried that Intel doesn't support their boards as well as other companies. If these issues are fixed, I'd be pretty happy with it. As it is I wouldn't recommend this board to anyone.

DX79SI - wake from sleep fails

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 18:50:56 GMT

I recently installed the DX79SI board along with an i7-3930k. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimare x64 and have a GTX-580 graphics card. Whenever I go to put the system to sleep, it appears to go into the sleep mode fine. However when I attempt to wake it, it ends up resetting the computer instead of returning me from sleep.

Any ideas on how I can provide additional details so the next BIOS update can fix this issue? I'm currently on the latest BIOS version from 11/29/2011.
