Sounds like an issue with your RAM to be honest, have you made sure it's running at the correct timings and voltage?

Yes m8 my pal has his own pc shop and has checked it out this is only happening since i have flashed to the new bios

But the board is not good for oc was looking for feed back on the EVGA and ASUS STRICKER boards dont know which one to go for

If your willing to wait another month or two then more 680i boards are being released early next year. This should drive the price down a bit I assume as currently they are silly money. If its only happened since you upgraded the BIOS then download a previous one that you know worked before and reflash it.
