FM2A88X+ BTC freezes

Hi, I have a system with FM2A88X+ BTC, AMD A8-7600, and 2 sticks of ADATA DDR3 RAM and a WD Red HDD 3TB.

Symptoms: it freezes after about 20 minutes, whatever the OS, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows

I tried:

• buying a new 600W PSU
• buying new Corsair DDR3 sticks
• buying a new HDD (Toshiba dt01aca300)
• downlocking ram to 800 Mhz
• resetting BIOS defaults
  

Firmware installed is 1.80. From what I found it looks like this: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=601&title=fm2a88x-extreme4-w10-and-bios-260-freezing

So, the problem could be either the CPU, either the motherboard.

Should I try to downgrade my firmware?

What can I do?

What's the Package C6?

I bought the BTC version because of the 8 SATA ports and the other version wasn't available on my retailer. I plan to use this as an home server, I don't mine. This computer must be turned on 24/7 and should never go to standby or power saving mode

Downgraded to EFI version 1.70 and I didn't have any crash. Ran furmark+cpu stress for 72 hours no problem

Also disabled Package C6

edit: I tried to enable Package C6 again and my system froze during Debian install. Frustrating. I'm disabling it again.
