Hi SpookyAnon,
Since this is a brand new motherboard, there are not BIOS versions available to update. The motherboard should come with the original version 0336. Please let me know if this is correct.
These are some recommendations for this issue:
- Test the system out of the chassis, minimal configuration please. (Motherboard, processor, power supply, 1 memory stick)
- Remove the CMOS battery and leave the system without it for about an hour. Then put it back on and restart the system. http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-028780.htm?wapkw=clear+cmos+battery#datetime
***Please use the onboard video to complete this troubleshooting.***
I would like to inform you, that this processor supports DDR3 1333 and 1600 MHZ only. Any speed above that, will be considered out of specifications. So make sure you are using the SPD speed of the memory which according to the link it is 1333 Mhz. http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-pro-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2133mhz-c11-memory-kit-cmy32gx3m4a2133c11.html
