Yeah running it now, okay so far.

With this BIOS, I get the following problem. When I try to resume windows from sleep, either by pressing the keyboard or the start button, the PC seems to start, but the screen remains black and the DRAM led on the board blinks constantly. When I press the reset button, windows resumes as if from hibernation or after power failure.
Downgraded to 1503 and the problem disappeared.

You may need to go into you bios settings and enable 'resume on S3' .c.

Thanks, chrsplmr 🙂
Didn't think about this, but, since I am happy with 1503, I will stay with it for the time being.

I had to upgrade the BIOS from inside WIndows. UEFI wouldn't recoqnize it as a valid file from UEFI...

Noticed a lot of random system freezes since I installed Windows 8.1. I hope this does the trick...

Likely you are using an NTFS disc to perform the upgrade in UEFI. Use a FAT32 formatted drive and it will work.
