A few days ago I built a new PC with the D975XBX2 motherboard, booted up initially and flashed the BIOS to version 2333, which was the latest at the time, and have since flashed to the more recent version 2395. The system (E6600 CPU, 2GB Corsair TWIN2X2048-8500C5 RAM, WD 250GB HD, X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty, eVGA 8800GTX) is stable overall in Windows as Orthos ran for over two hours with no errors or warnings with no overclocking and gaming has been flawless.
However, simply navigating through the BIOS often results in the BIOS freezing/locking up, forcing me to CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart. These lock-ups seem to occur most often while adjusting a specific setting, but they have happened as I just navigated through the BIOS and touched no settings at all. I have come across a few mentions of this BIOS issue with the D975XBX2 and even more reports with the D975XBX on various forums but have not found a solution. Is this problem simply an issue I can safely ignore and look for a BIOS update to fix, or is an RMA something I should consider?
