try relaxing your memory timings a bit . i perssonally had the same problem when i upgraded my pc and after so much trouble it turned out to be a faulty ram causing the problems.

remove any overclocks u did,that inlcudes memory,processor and gpu.
Also ur HDD could be corrupted or somethin(its possible).
If that isn't the case then u should rma ur board.

These mobo series are one of the worst bugy sollutions ASUS has to offer with the worst support along with the single A8R (not 32)

I do not think it's a OC problem

I advice you to RMA it and buy another
and
not with a ATI chipset if possible until they mature in the chipset business

How did this work out.
I have the smae board and not too many issues. Just overall overclocking and understanding the BIOS..
Its really a top quality board according to the reviews and users on other forums...
