Regretting buying the MVF [solved]

I am starting to regret paying good money for this board, when I got it I automatically flashed to the 1604 BIOS, which as I now know has problems for the majority of users, myself included. I then went to the 1408 BIOS which was stable apart from booting into windows boot manager which gave me the option of which system to install, as I only have 1 HDD with windows 7 on it my choice is windows 7 or windows 7. Pressing OK started windows 7 but then I had to go through the whole process of restarting and hoping to get into the BIOS without windows boot manager starting again, if I press escape this saves me having to through the whole waiting for windows to load before I can restart to try and get into my BIOS, when I finally get into the BIOS it acts like the 1604 BIOS and resets my BIOS settings.

My gaming is still rubbish with judder on the games I play, BF3 being the worst, virtually unplayable. I have tried my old monitor, old graphics card, on board sound, creative card, different router, old mouse, so 3 things are left, the CPU, memory and Motherboard.

Today I flashed back to 701 BIOS to see if this fixed my gaming (it didn't), and again windows boot manager returned, if I leave my computer and it goes to sleep, when I wake it up I have no monitor so have to do a hard reset. I have the BIOS settings exactly the same as when I had the 1408 BIOS but now when I set my vcore at 1.18v, instead of showing a constant voltage in CPUz, it fluctuates between 1.12 and 1.29, which gives me temperatures of 68 c instead of 58 c while trying to play BF3.

So after less than 3 months of owning this board here's hoping the new BIOS fixes these problems, if not I can see this board going in the bin. The reason it will go in the bin is because if I return it as faulty I will probably get a refurbished board and after 4 faulty refurbished 560 ti cards from MSI I was without a computer for nearly 3 months and I am not going through that again.

Those test are the easiest way to pin-point a problem if it blue screens on you. But however you like to go about solving the issue is your choice. You can also check the "Event viewer" for problems there to see what is going on. Good luck with it and I hope you solve the issue.

I solved it. I am not giving that program permission to run which is the exact
time it blue screens. It got shut out. I didn't.

You are exactly correct on all counts @Killer_K .. generally speaking.
And if my goal was to run 'that' software .. I would have to find the conflict.
This could even be a firewall/network issue or security policy violation in
relationship to accessing the HD ... with 'that' software, not a question
of system stability. humbly suggested. and thanks.

OK . so where are we on 'RubberBanding' ??? .c.

Ok chrsplmr the reason it BSOD's on you is because you DON'T have an Intel Chipset or CPU. Problem Solved!:p

Ahhhhhhhhh Ha. I knew it. Not the system. I would really be kicking myself now if I tore it all apart.
[ I thought I was checking to see if 'they' had an updated driver for the nic .. my bad.] thanks Dc.

All I know is I can load Crysis2, a Video, 200 pages on 2 browsers put it to sleep and
wake it up, do whatever I want as many times as I want for days. Put it to Sleep and
start over in the morning for the last year and a half OC'd @ 4.2.
If thats not stable I swear I will eat every bite of the whole thing right now.c.
