The MB is a ASRock Z68 Pro3-M, mine is a ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3

I've recently had a problem with an AsRock mainboard. As it turned out,
their voltage control of the integrated GPU was buggy. Setting the voltage
to "fixed 1.5V" instead of "auto" resolved the issue.

I think this is the same person

I don't know about the ASRock Z68 Pro3-M, but the Gen3 has a EUFI BIOS and
I cannot find an explicit GPU voltage setting. My options are:

CPU Core Voltage Offset -100mV - +500mV
IGPU Voltage Offset -100mV - +500mV
DRAM Voltage 1.201V - 1.8V
PCH Voltage 0.780V - 1.646V
CPU PLL Voltage 1.548V - 2.310V
VTT Voltage 0.768V - 1.634V
VCCSA Voltage 0.925V - 1.200V

I have already update to the latest BIOS (1.20)
