      I'm having the same issues.

      I'm running:

      GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
      Radeon R9 290 GAMING 4GB 512-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16
      AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
      G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

      I've done ResetSim * several times and it just keeps reoccurring.  

      Any help would be appreciated.
