    Unhappy Asus P5Q Deluxe Problem

    I have a problem, and i believe it to be the m/board that's playing up. Let me explain.

    I built my rig back in November with the following components;
    Asus P5Q Deluxe Board
    E8500 3.16Ghz CPU
    4Gb Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz Ram
    HD4870 1Gb Sapphire GPU
    Freezer Pro 7 Cooling
    Thermaltake Shark Case

    All was good and everything running fine, overclocked the CPU and the GPU, again all working fine. All on Vista 64Bit

    Now within the last two months or so i started getting problems while gaming, but only one particular game...CoD4...

    I can play Crysis fine i can play CoD5 fine. But CoD4 will randomly crash (when i say crash i mean the whole system freezes and i have to do a manual reboot and get no error messages on boot or anything to go by).

    Now i've tried everything i can think of; Updating all my drivers, rolling back drivers, memory tests, scans, everything. Today the game has even crashed in Safe Mode, which is just crazy.

    Right so i got talking to some mates online, and he said his neighbour has had the exact same problem with his board and eventually he got a new board, and now has no problems what so ever...guess his m/board...Asus P5Q Deluxe.

    Now i've gone to update the BIOS but the update utility on Asus' website doesn't like Vista 64bit (yes i downloaded the right one but still get a compatibility error) but i think this is going to be my next best thing to do right?

    Please help

    Edit:

    This is the error i get when i try using the BIOS Utility from ASUS' website;
