Once I get back, I will first reset my mobo to standard settings, then update the bios, then update the drivers, and finally come back and tell you when that is complete. Does that sound alright?
That is exactly the order in which to do it. Post back your results. If you are adamant about overclocking, I can help you with that as well. But first, we need you stable to correct any other issues.
