after building my new pc, everything seems to work except a couple of things. when booting up I get a message saying "bios not installed", however it's showing a bios version in control panel. once it boots up and goes to the desktop screen it freezes, after 2 or 3 reboots it doesn't freeze any more. I was wondering if my bios problem is maybe making my system unstable. also with the system I have I'm not getting the performance I should be getting, as far as gaming goes. does anyone have any suggestions???? I notice most of the posts here have to do w/ the asus board, did I make a mistake buying it?
