Asus A7V Question.......Help?

Someone earlier mentioned something about updated bios for this mb (ver. 1005 I think?). Anyway, a few questions......... 1. Will the updated bios solve lock up problems I've been having? Doesn't seem to matter what game/app I'm using. CPU will lock up in my email program, HH2001, PGA 2000, MS paint, Winzip, etc. 2. Where can I find these updated bios? 3. Are there install/update instructions with the updated bios? I've never updated bios on a cpu before. Hopefully someone can help :) Thanks, Todd

What kind of memory are you using? I also have a A7V (Duron 750) and had all of my programs (especially games) lockup and freeze withen minutes. The problem turned out to be the cheap, generic memory that I had in the motherboard. The A7V is a VERY picky board when it comes to memory. Make sure the memory is a name brand or at least non generic stick (in other words it comes in a box or plastic package) This should solve your problems...it did mine!!
