is my system under powered?

Also, I never updated my BIOS before, so I don't really know how to. I have the .rom file, I just don't know what to do with it.

I have been running 1 video card, but have still had problems. verifier is enabled. installed SP1, but when it rebooted, it crashed, and I booted it again, and my cpu meter went crazy, its now jumping from 40%-80% on idle. then I got the BSOD after I tried to install the ASUS utility. Also the prime95 download links on the site don't work, and I couldn't find any other ones.

After installing SP1 the CPU will go crazy for a few minutes until it settles everything.

There should be instructions, either in the rom file (a text file) or on Asus web site, usually in the same place you downloaded it from.

another BSOD after trying to install ASUS update utility. and now I can't install the Utility, it gives me like 3 errors: one with random characters, "No Asus motherboard installation will be abooted now" and "an installation support file 'c:\users\Josh\Appdata\local\temp\{587178e7-b1df-494e-9838-fa4dd36e873c}\_IsRes.dll' could not be removed. unspecified error"

I also tried uninstalling PC Tools and i got a BSOD in the process. had to boot in safe mode in order to remove the program.

We haven't forgotten you. We will have to wait for someone from the bsod crew to help you. It has evolved into something more than I am qualified for.

Not sure why you can't download it. Try it from here. There is a link for X86 and one for X64.

Did you update the BIOS? Also, forget the update utility, just update the drivers manually.

OK, uncheck everything in your startup EXCEPT for Malwarebytes and MSE, if that is what the Microsoft entry is. Reboot and test. enable the startups one at a time and reboot, test again with each one. when you get the BSOD, you'll know probably if one of those is causing it.
You really don't have to have in startup:
Google Update
Steam
Power DVD
Adobe Reader, very bloated
Java platform
Quick Time
iTunes

These will run as you need them.

I fixed it, had to reset my BIOS. Probably need to update my BIOS. what kind of test should I run, the small FFTs, in-place large FFTs, or Blend?

Run the small FFTs to begin with. Follow the tutorial I gave you a link for. It will explain exactly how to run the test. Keep a close watch on CPU temps and shut it down if the temps get dangerously high.

EDIT: the blend test is AKA torture test. With your issues I would not recommend that. Maybe run that after sorting everything out.
