The update of the bios seems to solve the problem (not appears for 10 times)

Users of Intel DH55HC are encouraged to upgrade the bios following this 
link :

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&amp;changeLang=true&DwnldId=19947

No need to install windows, put the .BIO file on a usb key and press F7 
when booting.

Hope it will helps someone.

Cheers,
