Hi Murph and Mag
Thank you both for your input. I have given Asus 1 more chance to help clarify the situation. On the specs of this MB it states that it will accept 4 sticks of ram up to 128gb and 4400mhz (OC) . If they cannot clarify then i will be changing my MB. The only downside is I have a full block on the MB for watercooling, which may not fit other MBs. What MB would you guys suggest as a replacement for this one which would be better able to handle the memory and indeed overclocking. This is the first Asus MB I have had problems overclocking !!!! So much for technical advancement.

You right, Bios 4201 is the issue in combination with Dark Hero VIII. I had similar setup and 3 different Dark Hero VIII boards I end up returning to Amazon and changing to MSi and problem is gone. I contacted Asus # of times and as always generic responses, but months ago I have been told to stick with 4006 Bios and they will work on new bios.....don't trust them.
There is something with Bios 4201 that causes irreversible issue with board so even after Flashing back to prior Bios, freezes, idle reboots, BSOD's continue. This time around Asus Crosshiar VIII hero Dark is the worse board made and this is coming from long time Asus fanboy.
My advise, if you can sell or return the board, even if you RMA, high possibility you end up with the same issue.

I have had a ton of issues on 4201. How was I supposed to know to NOT upgrade to their latest firmware!?! Why is it still on their page if it's known to be bad!? =( I've been using ASUS for a long time now, but this has really got me upset. Has there been any word on when/if they will put out an updated and fixed bios? Does it matter if I try to roll back to a previous Bios?
Thanks
