EDIT: Flashed F8b bios - after a few quite random restarts and powerdowns, finally able to boot into windows, I restarted and set 4.8GHz with a slightly higher voltage than on ASUS (was 1.33 on Asus, put 1.345 on GA) and it still kept coming up with an error after several minutes of prime95.

Sad to admit, but first chance I get, I'm putting back the Asus board in.
Was F8b at 4.8 with pll off? Seems crazy they can't sort this basic bios stuff out. They need to loosen their criteria when they check for oc at boot; this is just plain ridiculus!
