EDIT : i cant get on ASRocks page, what does the update claim to do?

oh right, gives me options but no figure

from what i can see 1.60 is for raid support.

Yes but sometimes they alter other stuff but dont say.

Found out the new bios didnt fix the BSOD when using the IGUP.

Could possibly be an issue with the IGP on the CPU? pity you can't try another 2500k to find out.

What you going to do, get another Asrock, or try a different motherboard, they might not find it even faulty which would be a pain in the ****.

The problem is affecting more people as well. Not sure which make to go for did like the asrock apart from that problem.

I already had a card but for me if its not working 100% then i wont keep it.

thats fair enough i suppose. like i said, mine ran for a good 4hours + without issues using the OBV, but it wasnt doing anything stressful, just watching films.

About 2 weeks it was second board so are you using the igpu if so is it working fine on the asus pro then ?

Crezzlin · 18 Jul 2011 at 07:41

yeah had no problems with the IGP on the Asus.. well had no BSOD or stupid cpu errors etc..
