	The updates past 4.0 are designed to accommodate Raven Ridge APUs. If you were stable on an earlier BIOS revision and do not plan to upgrade to a Ryzen APU then there is no benefit to the 4.0 or higher BIOS versions for you, they are focused on improving stability and compatibility for Raven Ridge. Because of this fact it is likely that it could introduce issues with previous generation CPUs (as you have experienced). You may want to flash back to the last stable BIOS version you used and wait until the new platform matures before updating again.
