I have seen this issue before and working with the engineers at HQ the conclusion was that the board needed RMA'ing. I know it is a pain in the backside but I am just trying to save you time.
Also was your CPU overclocked while updating the BIOS? If so that might be the cause, even if you think it was 100% stable. You should always be running stock frequencies before a BIOS update!
I made sure it wasn't overclocked for the last BIOS update for sure. After the ERALL, then CAP converter and then 3101 it all successfully updated. Maybe I screwed up Monday, who knows...
Seems to be a problem using Forced BIOS 2. RAID CTRL-I doesn't work with BIOS 2, but does with 1. I suspect this may be causing other issues as well.
UPDATE:
Running like a champ overclock and under @ 100% load on BIOS 1. I will have to investigate BIOS 2 further.
