I just double checked some reviews, and that definitely was the Asus board I considered. It should be a good choice.

You can roll back to an older BIOS on the Gigabyte boards, but there are some extra steps involved. You have to make a bootable drive:

I've never had to use the secondary BIOS as I always update my BIOS within itself (not with a Windows utility).
But after updating my BIOS, I started having all sorts of annoying issues like my mouse cursor pausing and acting very jerky, and lots of apps crashing out of the blue. I never had those issues after I replaced my board with the Asrock one, and the rest of the hardware stayed the same.
I had the same problem, fixed by updating my BIOS to latest
You want the ram to run as fast as possible, so XMP on.
Yes, I guess for a trial you wouldn't want an overclock.Right. But for the purpose of this 'trial' of waiting approx 30 days for a freeze, shouldn't I leave it at 2133? According to the Mobo specs anything above a 2133mhz is technically an OC right?

Comment:
I like to think so. How would I find the culprit though?Have you already ruled out a software problem? The last time I had an issue similar to this it turned out to be an ASUS printer sharing service (that I didn't know was running) that was causing the freezes.
Ok so I'm currently running on a constant 25 days of uptime with no crashes or freezes after the BIOS update I did.
Most likely, YES.Or is it because I have not restarted my computer in a while?
Most likely, YES.
You could disable all the entries in the start-up tab of Task Manager and see if that fixes it.I like to think so. How would I find the culprit though?
