Well I have been running my computer at stock speeds for the past year and I always crash once every 2 weeks or so. It's prime stable though and RAM seems to be fine. I haven't RMA this board because this is the only computer I have for post-secondary school work and everything else.

But since BIOS 1307, it works fine if I don't cold boot. So recently I came across the post in the Asus forum where people claim to still have cold boot issues at stock and at overclocked speeds.

Cold boot basically means you were using your computer without rebooting once after Windows is loaded. So After I turn on my computer and Windows is loaded, I reboot, load Windows and then use my computer and I experience no crash.

I usually just hibernate if I want to turn my computer off, and that has been working fine for months. So obviously it doesn't seem like a hardware problem to me but just need BIOS to correct the issues. So maybe it is an issue with memory compatibility. I have done everything to narrow down to either it's an issue with this board or my OCZ Reaper 1866 and seems most likely is this board. Very disappointing for a motherboard I paid $330 back in 2009.
