I'm not quite sure if I understand what your saying here but I will give it a go.

1. What do you mean by bios F4 and F6? I think you mean the dual bios with the Gigabytes but I have next to no experience with these.

2. Your processor temps. are way to hot. What heastsink/fan combo. are you using?

3. What are the differences in the different bios you are using?

4. Make sure you do not have any IRQ conflicts in your device manager.

so why not just use the F4 (?) bios if everything works with it.....

Enabling DMA might stop the harddrive noise.
