   Hi.

It seems that until further notice, the sudden freezing stopped. As well as the sudden reboots. Now, to solve the BIOS problem.

Thanks.

	Voltages appear to be more stable. At least it did not turn on by itslef during the night... But i cannot access the BIOS yet. I am going to order a new BIOS chip like this guy did. http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5715&title=asrock-fm2a88m-extreme-4-bios-update-fail

	Hello everyone. I know this post is a bit old, but i am experiencing this exact same problem. I already have the Flash drive ready and formatted with file in it ready to downgrade the BIOS version. However, when i restart the PC and press F2 (or Del) to access the BIOS, the screen goes black and the FANS speed up while nothing else happens. I end up having to hard reset it (the so called magic button - no other way here) and then if i allow it to start W10, it starts normally (randomly freezes every now and then, of course). Accessing the SETUP itself seems to be the main problem here. Has anyone been through the same situation? How have you solved it? Thank you.

	I have to write some pretty new notes about that freezing issues now. As I'm using Windows 10 Insider Preview, there was probably something depending on these huge issues with processors patches (Meltdown + Spectre). About 2 weeks ago I got an update 17074 of these W10 Insider Preview. And guess what... It is again stable solid machine now! Well from end of September 2017 to half of January 2018 it was everyday "no reason" freeze and reboot.. So my last guess is, that it wasn't fault of Asrock, but processors producers. Let us know, you - other users, what is your experience?

	I am using the 3.30 in Windows 7/10/Linux Suse without problem for "long time". I have an A10 7890k + 16 GB GSkill + SCSI PCI Card + LPT PCI Card and 6 HD. But I realized that Asrock is $%@%#$%# with the bios. I bought some AB350 Pro4 and the BIOS sucks. For upgrade, you need to have an DOS booteable disk for the first update and is "not able" to change the memory speed. I bought "expensive" memory (faster than normal) and I am unable to activate the XMP profile (it show the option but is disable). I think some thing aren't going well inb Asrock

	I was installing that terrible P3.30 BIOS version a few weeks ago too. In short, I'm back to P2.50 now, and I will hope that all will be stable again. I was trying that "C6 state disable" too of course, maybe it could be a bit better, but it led to freezing to black screen and restart too. As I started this thread 2 YEARS ago, I wouldn't expect that I will install back that old BIOS version again! How many versions were between 2.50 and 3.30?? I'm using Windows 10 Insider Preview - slow channel, now is installing 16296.0 (rs3_release)
