Subject: X99E-ITX/ac can't boot windows

Hi,
I also faced similar problem.
My system:
Intel Xeon E5-2683 V3
Crucial 32 GB ECC/Reg Ram (CT32G4RFD4213.36FB1)
Gigabyte GTX 1070 itx graphics card.
Asrock X99e-itx/ac
System entered in UEFI properly and detected all the hardware correctly.
Ram test (Memtest86, Memtest86+ and Windows memory test) passed in round-robin CPU selection but Parallel CPU testing restarted the system in middle (possibly a software bug of Memtest86+ or UEFI).
CPU-Z showed correct processor and Graphics card.
However, with default UEFI settings could not install Any OS (Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 10) and Linux (Redhat EL, Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, OpenSuse) both 32 and 64 bit.
Updated to latest UEFI (P3.60) but no success in OS installation.
Started playing with so many parameters in UEFI (CSM, Secured boot and so on) but no success. Emailed Asrock customer support but no response.
Once changed SATA mode to IDE and could install Windows XP 32-bit. Got some Hope but most of the hardware not supported with Windows XP 32-bit (detected only 1.4 GB RAM). Tried 64-bit XP and Vista 32-bit next but both failed in installation.
Finally disabled CPU C-State in UEFI and could install OpenSuse 42.2, a 64-bit OS.
Still do not understand if problem is in the CPU or in UEFI or in the motherboard hardware.
Still waiting to get response from Asrock customer support. Never expected need to spend so many day's to Install first fully functioning OS in this system.
Hope some one else will be benefited from this info.
Thanks.
