Then I checked the respective website and found out that the most recent is 2.6. So I downloaded the new bios version and flash it. It's been now more than a day and the PC is running very smooth. I am 99.99% sure that the issue is fixed because I was getting BSOD very&nbsp;</span>often<span style="line-height: 1.4;">.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;">I decided to write this post so that I can help anyone that might face a&nbsp;</span>similar<span style="line-height: 1.4;">&nbsp;issue with the Z170m Pro4S. ALSO, I would <b>urge</b> <i>ASRock </i>to add some of this information to the motherboard webpage to let any future buyers that they should consider updating their BIOS if they are facing similar issues!</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;">Thanks for reading.</span></div><div><span style="line-height: 1.4;"><br></span></div><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by ionfist - 27 Mar 2016 at 11:52pm</span>]]>
