I just updated the BIOS of GA-880GMA-USB3 and it booted fine at first, but after a few minutes running it blue-screened. I did some searching and saw that sometimes after the BIOS reverts to default settings after a flash, it changes the SATA settings and won't allow the computer to boot, but this is different because it did boot, and didn't blue screen until later. I tried anyway and changed the SATA settings but then it would blue screen right away. Here is a mini-dump in case anyone cares to take a look: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4n9nozbk8oz5iyb/042713-49561-01.dmp
I have had a bunch more blue screens since the inital one and even typing this now I'm hoping to beat the clock before it does it again.
Some more info:
[FONT=Verdana]I decided to try updating the BIOS because I have been having an issue for a while where my computer would completely freeze up and the monitor would go black, but the computer would still be running, leaving me with no option but to hold in the power button. Back in august I bought a graphics card and started having a similar issue except the screen wouldn't go black it would just remain on whatever screen I was on, completely unresponsive. Yesterday I took the graphics card out and went back to on-board graphics and low and behold, screen blacks-out again. I have run memtest and hdtest in the past and both have passed. Is this a motherboard issue?[/FONT]
