fingers and toes still crossed, NO BSOD's now after 2 full days. Looking more and more like it was the motherboard. Still havn't installed any 3rd party sortware yet, gonna wait another few days and see if its still stable.

Thanks for updating us. That is great news. After two full days, I would say that, at least, part of your problem is solved.
Update: I've been taking it easy regarding installing programs, I'm limiting it to one or 2 a day. Yesterday office and WSFTP went on and had no problems, this morning I've installed winzip/winrar/acrobat reader/Flash and java, and up to now no problems.
So 4 days now and counting without BSOD's
Since changing the M/b I've noticed an increse in speed as well, everything seems to open and close quicker??
Really great news so far. By the way, there are some good, free alternatives to Adobe Reader that have much lighter footprints, use less resources and don't use the annoying Adobe updater.
It does seem as if the mobo was the problem. Let's give it a couple of more days. Then update us and we will mark this one as solved.
Update: Its now been well over 6 days since I took the M/b back and replaced it. No BSOD's since. I've taken it slow in installing all the software, but all bar 2 are now installed, and still no BSOD's. Will install the last couple of bits of software tomorrow. Hopefully there will be no problems.
now been over 7 days, and seems to be working OK. All software and drivers on and running. Many thanks for your help, I was tearing my hair out at the beginning.
Thanks very much for the update. If something pops up, you can still post it this thread. I am glad you are up and running smoothly. :)
