    Are you flashing the BIOS in windows?    Shame Shame, flash it in the BIOS never in windows.

    Have you double checked to make sure your RAM is set to the proper voltages, and latencies?

    I would run a Memtest86 to double check the RAM.

     

    Memtest86+ Bootable CD-ROM ISO - 2.01

    Memtest86+ For USB Key (Pure DOS) - 2.01
